Easter in Albania~~~ Twice
Good Friday, April 19
Holy Saturday, April 20
Easter Sunday, April 21
Easter Monday, April 22
~~~or~~~
Good Friday, April 26
Holy Saturday, April 27
Easter Sunday, April 28
Easter Monday, April 29
So...

  •  According to the Gregorian calendar, the Catholic and Protestant  churches celebrate Easter on April 22. 
  • According to the Julian calendar, the Orthodox church celebrates Easter a week later. 
The thing that makes me smile...is that Easter Monday's are a "national holiday" and banks, etc are closed. For a nation that was declared "the only atheist nation in the world", from 1944 until 1990, and  58.79% of Albania's population adheres to Islam, (2011 census).
