Greek churches celebrate Easter by firing rockets at each other - Daily Mail

Each year the Orthodox congregations of the Agios Markos (St Mark's) and Panagia Erithiani (Virgin Mary Erithiani) churches sit on opposite hilltops in the town of Vrontados and launch tens of thousands of home-made fireworks.
It is known as Rouketopolemos (rocket war) and is a variation of the Greek tradition of throwing rockets during Easter celebrations. The objective is to hit the bell tower of the church on the other side.
