MOTHER TERESA`S CENTENARY MASS HELD
Baku, August 26 (AZERTAC). Hundreds of Catholic nuns and slum dwellers in the Indian city of Calcutta have marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mother Teresa.
A special Mass was held at the headquarters of the Missionaries of Charity - the order of nuns which Mother Teresa founded 60 years ago.
Mother Teresa, an ethnic Albanian, was born in Skopje, now part of Macedonia, on 26 August 1910.
Her work in the Calcutta slums earned her a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
