Summary/Abstract: The variety of „exemplary models” from Romanian medieval period and the will to build village churches, have allowed modernity to „work” in order to turn churches into real agoras. Each religious brick monument erected as an offering to Divinity, represents a step forwards in the spiritual development of that given community. In some communities in the eastern extremity of Neamt district, the life of the villagers from Poienile Oancei, Stanita, Todireni, Chicerea, Veja, Vladnicele or Ghidion has been dedicated in time to both the profane (land farming, animal farming and crafts) and the religious. In the following paragraphs we will present some of the characteristics of religious cult practicing, through the drafting of Religious Objective Sheets, from the 1965-1967 period.
