Easter in Albania
For a long time, roughly half-a-century, celebrating a religious festivity was a pure act of rebellion in Albania. Former dictator Enver Hoxha in his attempt to create the homo-sovieticus had banned anything from Christmas to Carnivals. Any challenge to the rule and you could be drop-shipped to the gulags as priority mail.

The wedding day is a memorable day in almost every culture. But for centuries it has had a special place in Albanians life. There are some core events that compose the whole Wedding party.
