The brutality of Easter
Violent Easter traditions such as re-enactments of the crucifixion and resurrection, bonfires, and firecrackers have led to incidents of vandalism, riots, and injuries during the holiday. Despite increased police presence, youths were involved in throwing Molotov cocktails, firecrackers, and stones at authorities, damaging property, and causing chaos in various areas. The use of firecrackers and fireworks by individuals, including parents with children in the car, has raised concerns about societal violence spilling over into other areas.
