The rocket war is an old custom of Vrondados, Greece that began since the time of the Turkish occupation and it still happens every year in the Easter. Firstly the residents of the two parishes, Panagia Erithiani and Saint Mark’s, which are facing each other, made extempore little cannons. But all these by the time became extempore rockets, fireworks made from niter, sulphur and gun-powder.
