Pillow fights

Greece marked the International Pillow Fight Day for the first time on Sunday as thousands of people took part in the capital and the northern city of Thessaloniki.

Pillow fighters took over Klafthmonos Square in Athens and Aristotelous Square in Thessaloniki to revive the good, old-fashioned pillow fight from their childhood and to send a message against domestic violence, Xinhua reported.

With the motto "Pillow Fight, Don't Fight", Greece participated in the worldwide event in support of the Greek Association of Aid for Abused Women and Children.

The goal was to raise public awareness and gather medicine and clothes ahead of the Orthodox Easter holiday next weekend.

Despite cloudy weather, people of every age group equipped for a fight - with fluffy pillows in their bags - joined the challenge and once the whistle blew, they pulled out their "weapons" and started whacking each other.
