Have You Seen The Two Churches That Have A Fireworks Ground War Against Each Other Every Year
Rouketopolemos (“rocket war”) is the name of the event held annually in the town of Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios.
At midnight before Orthodox Easter Sunday [as defined by the Julian calendar], two rival church congregations, (St. Mark’s and Panaghia Ereithiani.), perform a “rocket war” by firing over 50,000 handmade rockets at each other.

I want to hear what you have to say
Interesting. Though, can be dangerous to fire them at each other.

Agreed, but I like this because it shows the insanity of mankind grasping on to unnecessary traditions in the name of religion. We need a constant inoculation against stupidity.
