By Jamila Babayeva
Azerbaijan is a multinational country where people of different ethnic groups and religions have lived side by side for a long time. Azerbaijani Christians celebrate Easter, their main religious holiday, with all kinds of festivities, including the traditional charity bazaar.
The 4th charity Easter Bazaar will be held in Baku on April 10-11 on the eve of Easter.
The bazaar will be organized by the Russian Embassy in Azerbaijan and the Baku-Azerbaijan eparchy of Russian Orthodox Church at the Russian information and cultural center.
The Easter bazaar aims to collect funds for orphaned children. You can buy original costume jewelry, colorful Azerbaijan scarves, the products of Azerbaijan's masters of painting and woodcarving, natural church honey, and, certainly, Easter cakes at the fair.
The event will bring together MPs, representatives of foreign countries` diplomatic missions to Azerbaijan, and cultural and public figures.
