Rockets streak through the sky during Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations on the Greek island of Chios April 8, 2007. Thousands of home-made rockets are fired on Easter Sunday every year by locals from two rival churches in the Vrontados area in a centuries-old tradition. The two sides, who have been preparing tens of thousands of rockets for months, launch rockets aimed at the opposing church's bell tower. [Reuters]
