Pious Pyro

Yes, that's right, it's two Greek churches firing fireworks at each other!

More from the BBC:

Every Easter Sunday on the small Greek island of Chios a fireworks war breaks out between two rival parishes.

In a bizarre but long-cherished local tradition, two Orthodox churches in the town of Vrodandos fire rockets at each other's churches - while services are held.

The objective is to hit the other church's bell, but many rockets go astray, causing locals to rush frantically for cover.

I might go to church if we got to shoot rockets!
