I am very familiar to the congruences in modular arithemtic, But sometimes I can see questions related to supercongruences but I couldn't find any information about it on google.

Can someone explain what it is? and what is the difference with a classic congruence?

Supercongruences are ordinary congruences modulo a power of a prime.
