Catholics are concentrated mostly in the northern\npart of the country, the Orthodox in the south and center of the country, and the Bektashi sect of Sufism\nis found in some specific regions such as Berat, Skrapar, Permet, Kruj\u00eb, Elbasan, Mat, Mallakast\u00ebr, Kor\u00e7\u00eb,\netc. Freedom of religion is a right guaranteed by the Albanian Constitution. Besides official religions,\nthere are followers of other doctrines such as; Baha\u2019i, Christian Evangelism, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, etc.\nAdditionally, there are also atheists and non-religious people.\nAlbania became unique in Europe in 1967, when all religious activity was banned by closing down\nchurches, mosques, religious schools and tekkes. For about 23 years, Albania was the only atheist\ncountry in the world. In 1990, after a democratic movement, the freedom of religion was restored and\nchurches and mosques were rebuilt, as well as many other religious buildings. Albania has several places\nof religious pilgrimage. The most important are those in honor of Shna Nues (St. Anthony) on 13 June at\nthe Church of Lac, the pilgrimage of Abas Ali on 19 August in Tomorr Mountain, the one in honor of St.\nMary on 15 August in some of the churches across the country, the pilgrimage in honor of Sari Salltik in Kruja and others.<br>\nThe following are also public holidays that do not occur on the same date every year:<br>\nCatholic Easter: March\/April\/March<br>\nOrthodox Easter: March\/April\/May<br>\nGreater Bajram: End of Ramadan<br>\nLesser Bajram: Varied <br><br>\nSource: https:\/\/albania.al\/information\/<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting to know Albania General Info Flag: Black double-headed eagle on a red background \u2022 International telephone prefix: +355 \u2022 Government: Parliamentary Democracy \u2022 Population: 2,886,026 inhabitants \u2022 Area: 28,748 km2 \u2022 Capital: Tirana \u2022 Language: Albanian-Shqip \u2022 Currency: Albanian Lek\u00eb POPULATION The Albanian population is approximately 2.88 million inhabitants, with about 113 inhabitants per [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6727","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
