Christians celebrate Good Friday and Easter

President of the Republic Bujar Nishani wished a Happy Easter to all Catholic believers. "Dear, distinguished and respected Catholic believers, It is a great pleasure for me to wish you a Happy Easter. 

It is a pleasure to wish Happy Easter to a single believer, let alone an entire community such as you, the Albanian Catholics wherever you are" reads the message of the Head of the State. Wishes also came from PM Edi Rama, DP leader, Lulzim Basha, former PM Sali Berisha and former Speaker of the Parliament, Jozefina Topalli. 

In Vatican, Pope Francis led the traditional Easter Sunday Mass in St Peter's Square. 

It was followed by the Urbi et Orbi (to the City and the World) blessing to a global audience of millions. The Pope baptized 10 people, among them 3 Albanians. /albeu.com/
