I will tell you about history of Firework Battle in Greece. This day is Easter of the Greek Orthodox Church. It started in 1889, when Ottoman occupiers who ruled the island at that time stop habitants using cannons and the locals replied by launching home-made rockets. In past people tried to use cannons to ring the bell of church but it was too dangerous to do that, so now they use fireworks.
Since 1889, people celebrate Easter every year in unusual and dangerous way. Because it is dangerous, a small fire breaks out every year and some people are burned by fireworks.
