Mother Teresa commemorated on anniversary of death and International Day of Charity

September 5 marks the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa and is observed globally as the International Day of Charity. The day commemorates the life and humanitarian legacy of the Albanian-born missionary who dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor in Calcutta, India.

Mother Teresa, born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Skopje, was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950, a religious congregation that expanded its service to the marginalized and sick worldwide. Her life was characterized by extreme humility and service, earning her the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

Various institutions and diplomatic bodies, including the U.S. Embassy and the EU Ambassador to Albania, have issued tributes honoring her enduring message of solidarity, compassion, and human dignity. Her legacy continues to serve as a global symbol of altruism and religious devotion.
