Seen on the newswires:
Robed Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests went at each other with brooms and stones inside the Church of the Nativity [the site traditionally believed to be the birthplace of Jesus] on Thursday as long-standing rivalries erupted in violence during holiday cleaning.[...]
On Thursday, dozens of priests and cleaners came to the fortress-like church to scrub and sweep the floors, walls and rafters ahead of the Armenian and Orthodox Christmas, celebrated in the first week of January. Thousands of tourists visited the church this week for Christmas celebrations.
But the cleanup turned ugly after some of the Orthodox faithful stepped inside the Armenian church’s section, touching off a scuffle between about 50 Greek Orthodox and 30 Armenians.
In the immortal words of Rodney King, “cain’t we all just get along?”
