  Abstract:  The religious education is an integral part of the general educational process, which makes connection between individual consciousness and the general culture. The religious education is a constitutive part of man’s spiritual moulding, which requires the ability to assimilate and the ability to operate, in every-day life, with notions belonging to religious culture, requires to mould the soul in Christian moral spirit, through loving God and our fellow creature. Living in Christ requires knowledge of God, and that does not confine to a rational knowledge, because you cannot know God only by your mind. You get to know God only when you receive Him inside your body through Eucharist, when you carry out his commandments, and through a life of sacrifice, in order to obtain the Christian virtues. From the orthodox point of view, knowing God requires sharing your testimony, both verbal and through behaviour. The Holy Scripture, The Word of God, continues to be the reference system for testing the fundamental ideas of the education.

Keywords: education, knowledge, behaviour, consciousness, culture.
