In 2025, Catholic Easter will be celebrated on Sunday, April 20th, and Monday, April 21st in Albania. Albania celebrates both Catholic and Orthodox Easter, which are usually not at the same time as Catholics and Orthodox each follow their own calendar, but in 2025 both celebrations will be on the same weekend.

Although Catholicism is slightly more prominent than Orthodoxy in Albania, being close to Greece, Saranda has more Greek-Orthodox influences and only has a small minority of Catholics.

Easter is usually celebrated by gathering with family and other relatives to share a festive meal and an abundance of drinks. The most common traditional meal for Easter is lamb, which is seen as a symbol for Jesus but also symbolizes spring.

If you want to great people during Easter, you can say “Gëzuar Pashkët!” which means “Happy Easter!”
