The World's Most Amazing Festivals S01 E08 The Rocket Festival, Greece

On the small island of Chios, they celebrate Easter in a very special way, by firing rockets from the bell towers of two rival churches in the town of Vrontados. At midnight, before Easter Sunday, the two churches wage the rocket-war, and the mythical Cyclades burst into a joyous folk festival until the first light of dawn, when it is slowly regaining calm and serenity.
