Argentina has celebrated the Day of the Evangelical and Protestant Churches for the first time on 31 October (Reformation Day), following a ruling that it would become a new national day earlier this year.

Evangelicals in the South American country had been pushing for greater recognition for the protestant Christian faith, which culminated in the establishment of the national celebratory day.

Special events were held to celebrate the evangelical and protestant churches, including a ceremony at the Libertad Palace in Buenos Aires (one of the largest cultural centres in the world), which was attended by several high-profile figures including Vice President Victoria Villarruel and Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, Diana Mondino, as reported by Christian Daily.
