Police have broken up a fist fight between Greek and Armenian orthodox clergy at one of Christianity's holiest sites in Jerusalem. Eyewitnesses say the scuffles broke out at the city's Church of the Holy Sepulchre after an Armenian priest pushed a Greek cleric away from a tomb. Fights are not uncommon at the church which is said to mark the site of Christ's burial and is shared by a number of Christian denominations. Crowds had gathered to celebrate the Orthodox Palm Sunday, traditionally when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey. Western churches celebrated Palm Sunday and Easter last month. No injuries were reported but two Armenians were briefly held for questioning. A crowd of around 100 Armenians gathered outside the police station to protest at their detention but later dispersed.
