Impressive and with conduct data far from exaggerations of the past, the rocket war, the Chian and specifically Vrontadousiko custom, which managed to become the focus of the international media. like no other Easter custom of Orthodox Easter, returned after two years of pandemic, giving unique spectacle and photographic snapshots to those who chose to watch it closely.
This year, for the first time in several years, the number of rockets did not exceed 15,000 from both parishes, which was also the main issue of the affected residents.
As tradition dictates the rival crews of the two parishes together started the parade in the coastal zone of Vrontados with the aim of reaching the point where their paths separate to take “battle positions”.
After 8 pm, after the rocket launchers had been set up, the crews carried out test throws towards the bell towers of the parishes but also to establish that the shots will not hit the houses located in the intermediate zone.
As soon as the bells rang at 11pm, the first mass shootings turned night into day, while an hour later the rockets along with hundreds of fireworks carried the joyful message of the Resurrection of the Lord.
