Unchristian-like Christians

And these people are supposed to be holier than thou type!
GREEK Orthodox and Armenian worshippers have traded blows in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where Christian denominations jealously protect their hold over areas of the traditional site of Jesus' crucifixion.
Israeli police went into the shrine, which faithful also believe contains the tomb of Jesus, to restore order.
Two clerics were arrested.

Dozens of worshippers, dressed in the vestments of the Greek Orthodox and Armenian denominations, traded kicks and punches, knocking down tapestries and toppling decorations at the site in Arab east Jerusalem.

The brawl erupted during the Feast of the Cross, a ceremony in which the Armenian community commemorates what it believes was the fourth century discovery of the cross upon which Jesus was crucified.

Fights are not uncommon in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre among the representatives of Christian denominations who are responsible for maintaining its different chambers. Source
Shame on them!

Perhaps that's the reason why nobody would know the exact location of the burial as everyone would have idolized it today instead of worshiping the One that has risen!

Sadly, these so called "holy people" are fighting over it today. Sounds more like extremist or "over-zeal"? I wonder what Jesus would be thinking about them right now.
