Christianity in Albania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christianity in Albania was established throughout the country in 100 A.D. From the 1000 A.D. the Byzantine Empire carried out Church missions in the area. In relation to the increasing influence of Venice the Franciscans started to settle down in the area in 13th Century. From 15th Century to 19th Century, under the rule of the Ottoman Empire conquest, Christianity in Albania almost disappeared. Today about 30% of the population is Christian.
