Israeli authorities have experienced to displace order at among Christianity's holiest sites following a mass brawl broke out between monks in Jerusalem's Old City. Battling erupted between Greek Orthodox and Armenian monks at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the classic site of Christ's crucifixion.Two monks from each side were arrested as tons of worshippers exchanged kicks and blows at the shrine, mentioned police.Trouble flared as Armenians ready to indicate the annual Feast of the Cross. Tapestries toppled Surprised pilgrims looked on as arrangements and tapestries were toppled throughout Sunday's clash.Dressed in the vestments of the Greek Orthodox and Armenian variations, competing monks put blows and something they might put their hands on.The Greeks attributed the Armenians for not realising their rights inside the sacred site, as the Armenians said the Greeks had broken among their traditional ceremonies. An Armenian clergyman said the Greek clergy had attempted to put one of their monks within the Edicule, an old design which is said to encase the grave of Jesus."What is happening here is an abuse of status quo. The Greeks have tried therefore often to place their monk inside the grave however they don't have the right to when the Armenians are remembering the feast," he said.The Armenians had been planning to honor the 4th Century finding of the cross thought to have been employed to crucify Jesus.
