Strife closes burial site of Christ in Jerusalem
In a daylong protest, about 150 clergymen from nine Christian sects supervised the closing of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. The doors were shut for possibly the first time in 800 years to protest Jewish settlement plans, with leaders from Latin, Greek, and Armenian Orthodox churches reciting prayers in Arabic, Armenian, and Greek. Wajih Nusseibeh noted the doors had not closed since Saladin’s 12th century drive from the city. The Nativity Church in Bethlehem and other holy sites also closed amid the protest. The Old City lies on land Israel seized in 1967.
