A broom fight at Church of Nativity
22 hours ago
Broom-wielding priests fought each other at the site of Christ's
birth after rows broke out between rival factions as they arrived to
clean the shrine.
The robed Greek Orthodox and Armenians clashed inside Bethlehem's
Church of the Nativity.
The basilica, built over the grotto where Christians believe Jesus
was born, is administered jointly by Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox
and Armenian Apostolic authorities. Any perceived encroachment on one
group's area can lead to vicious feuds.
