POSTED: 1:38 pm EDT September 27, 2004
JERUSALEM -- Greek Orthodox and Franciscan priests have gotten into a fistfight in one of Christianity's holiest shrines.
The fight broke out Monday in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which is built on the spot in Jerusalem where tradition says Jesus was crucified and buried.
Israeli police officers, wielding clubs, had to break up the brawl.
The fisticuffs came after the religious leaders got into an argument over whether a door should be closed during a procession. A dozen people, including some Israeli police officers, were slightly injured. Four priests were detained.
Hundreds of Greek Orthodox worshippers were taking part in the procession that commemorates the fourth-century pilgrimage by the mother of Emperor Constantine to Jerusalem.
