Azerbaijani Catholics celebrating Easter

On April 20, Catholics around the world celebrate Easter.

A festive liturgy was held in the Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary's Immaculate Conception in Baku on the evening of April 19.

Traditionally, families come to the festive service. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important Christian holiday. This year, both Catholics and Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter on the same day, April 20.

This rare coincidence is explained by the peculiarities of different calendars.
