An Easter rocket exchangeSourced
Two church communities exchange fireworks across the town
In Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios, an Easter tradition has two church communities firing rockets toward the opposing belfry. Nearby buildings require protection, and residents have objected to damage. The spectacle and the burdens of living beside it are both part of the event.
The bright scene comes with preparations around it.
