The Christianization of Albania (Albanian: Krishtërizimi e Shqiperisë) was a process where the people who inhabited early Albania during late antiquity and the early middle ages converted to Christianity. Before this process of mass-conversion, a majority of the people in the lands of modern-day Albania either followed old Illyrian religion or practiced ancient Greek religion. The christianization of Albania also had a large impact on the culture, history, society and government.
