Supporters of the New Life church used the October 21 rally to call on the authorities to reverse moves to confiscate the church's building.
The demonstration was approved by the authorities and no police intervention was reported.
Laws in Belarus confer benefits on the country's dominant Russian Orthodox Christian Church.
