Elements, however, is not so much that they would form as a whole a religious event. It, where the line goes, there’s a fine line. Kouvola similar cases, in which religious material is much, are still, according to my understanding rare.

One class, the majority had been taken to the easter hike to the parish, while the others stayed at school to make easter-themed maths tasks.
a Sub – class teachers have the right to choose whether the easter hike and what kind of alternative program to organize. My understanding is that part of is gone and the part is not gone.
