    Battle of the brooms as monks feud over cleaning Church of the Nativity

    Posted: 12/29/2011 01:00:00 AM MSTDenver Post Wire Report


    BETHLEHEM, West Bank - The annual cleaning of one of Christianity's
    holiest churches deteriorated into a brawl between rival clergy
    Wednesday, as dozens of monks feuding over sacred space at the Church
    of the Nativity battled one another with brooms until police
    intervened.

    Wednesday's fight erupted between Greek Orthodox and Armenian clergy,
    with both sides accusing the other of encroaching on parts of the
    church to which they lay claim.
