Illness is one of the basic everyday experiences that children experience: Every child becomes ill, lighter or heavier, sometimes life-threatening and / or with lifelong consequences. Because modern medicine practices a separation of religion and medicine, the question of the connection between religion and illness generally has no place in being sick at home or in the clinic, although the cultural history of illness and health up to modern times also largely includes religious history and also children and their parents ask about God and faith in these situations.
