Scuffles have broken out between rival groups of Greek Orthodox and Armenian clerics in a turf war at Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity.
Bemused tourists looked on as about 100 priests fought with brooms while cleaning the church in preparation for Orthodox Christmas, on 7 January.
Palestinian police armed with batons and shields broke up the clashes.
Groups of priests have clashed before in the church, built on the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born.
"It was a trivial problem that... occurs every year," Bethlehem police Lt-Col Khaled al-Tamimi told Reuters.
"No one was arrested because all those involved were men of God," he said.

Survey Summary: P3-429-3C

After a careful systematic survey, we recommend that this entire star system be quarantined indefinitely. There are few signs of truly intelligent life. The dominate life form in the system, a hairless ape race, is erratic, dangerous and extremely backwards.

The dominate civilization on the planet rates a -12 on the culture scale for sustainability, stability and constant warfare. Fighting continues after thousands of years over tribal God images.

A promising civilization may yet emerge. We anticipate that a very promising feline civilization will eventually enslave and take over the monkey civilization.

Membership in the Galactic Alliance or any diplomatic contact are completely out of the question for the monkey civilization. Quarantine them. They will eventually kill themselves off and good riddance to bad rubbish. We will covertly contact the feline civilization and assist them removing their monkey overlords.

I'm pretty sure the feline contact has already been made. You know all those times you see your cat staring upwards at nothing? Yeah. The takeover begins.
