Adhered to this year as well in Patras her custom Resurrection With the shopkeepers … they break them.
When the bells of the Patras Metropolitan hit cheerfully, the city center was shaken with the shopkeepers breaking lamps on the street and threw dozens of crackers celebrating the first Resurrection.
The custom began at the beginning of the 20th century, when tools with tools and industrial items were operating on Ermou Street. Then the merchants were flying shovels and axes on the road to make noise and everyone to hear that Christ would be resurrected.
Over time, the iron shovels were replaced with large elongated lamps, glasses, dishes and dynamites.
