You have probably seen these images on the news by now. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem erupted in a huge brawl on Sunday when Armenian and Greek orthodox began to fight for space in the church. The worshippers believe that it is the site of the crucifixion and contains the tomb of Jesus. The picture above comes from Al Jazeera, which also explains in more detail why this unbelievable fight broke out. Unfortunately, it is not the first time. Israeli police have arrested monks from each side. See also the interesting picture and news on Middle East Online.
