People of all ages gathered on Liberation Square in Ruse on Sunday to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ together, a unique joint celebration, as this year's Easter coincided for both Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox faiths.
The majority of Bulgarians identify as Eastern Orthodox, while Roman Catholicism is a minority religion. The latter usually celebrate Easter a few days before Orthodox Christians, however every so often, the dates coincide. For the eigth time since 2001, Christians from both groups have come together.
