KORCA, Dec. 25 – Korca’s town hall council has decided to declare Orhtdox Archibishop Annasatassios Yannoulatos as a Honored Citizen due to his efforts to renew “orthodoxy and restating the religious institutions. Twenty-one out of 24 town hall members were in favor of that decision.

Albanians celebrated Christmas with ceremonies all around the country. At the same time there was also the Muslim day of Great Bayram that was celebrated the same way.
