Mirdita is one of the areas that practices religious faith almost massively, while the marked holidays of the Catholic calendar revive life, faith and hope.

Next to Christmas, Easter is one of the most celebrated for believers.

Preparations for Easter Day have started, while Agetina, mother of two daughters, tells about eggs as a sign and symbol of this holiday.

Eggs are colored with beautiful motifs where it is usually the children who decide on their colors and combinations, red color being the leitmotif.

The decorated eggs are then offered to friends, visitors and children who, according to tradition, go from house to house, where they also receive good luck wishes.

‘Mother Teresa’, as the children, the daughter-in-law of the house, grandchildren and great-grandchildren call her, shows how they managed to celebrate religious holidays in secret, during the communist regime.

In Mirdita families, on occasions of joy or holidays such as Easter, the children offer an impressive appearance with the authentic and colorful traditional clothing of the province.

In this family, as well as in all the families of the area, Easter is accompanied by a wonderful atmosphere, thanks to the children who add even more devotion and joy to this marked celebration for Catholic believers.
