Easter, burning inferno?

People around town built a massive bonfire, around 40X5 meters in area. Since February they've been throwing old x-mas trees, furniture, anything burnable to a huge mound out in the middle of a farm field. The fire supposedly chases away evil spirits and is a very good way to do your spring cleaning. Here's the thing tho - starting 4 nights before the night of the fire people start to guard the pile 24/7, all day all night for 4 nights. THey keep a look out for ppl from other villages trying to light their thing on fire before its supposed to, its pretty intense, but i sat at home thinking how they camp through the blizzard that just came in. Anyway here are the pics:
