[tas38]

A real holy war going on now, what is next ???

[jasdon11]

The second video has very poor lighting. Seems like the cops had no control whatsoever!

Did you see him try to crowd surf?

[Acro]

It's all about tradition and ceremonials. It's sad that monks fought, however it'd be as if French Catholic monks and Italian Catholic monks fought over who would be best positioned inside St. Paul's grave at the Vatican. The Greek Orthodox head of church (ecumenical patriarch) is "first among equals" when it comes down to the Orthodox Christianity and they have established rights to the tomb of Jesus since the Byzantine era.

Acro is the one who started it

Maybe I should turn ix8ys.com into the official MFA site (monk fighting association)

Holy sh!t

[Seraphim]

If you watch the second video there is an interview with the passive Greek monk that got clocked by the guy in red. He looked like Jesus... oh the irony.

[Acro]

What would Jesus do?

[Seraphim]

What would Jesus do?

He would have stood up from the only unturned table, brushed the bread crumbs off his robe, then tipped the barmaid with a 140 pillars of bath salt.

What were they brawling about?

What were they brawling about?

noone wanted to wear the little black number, they were all after the red dress

In a nutshell, tradition gives the Greek Orthodox monks access rights to the ceremonies performed in the so-called tomb of Jesus. It's the same spot where each Easter, the priest "miraculously" receives the holy light and passes it on to others that then spread it around millions of faithful around the world. The Armenian Orthodox denomination monks acted in a manner inconsistent with tradition. Apparently, they wanted "change" like Obama

LOL, I was expecting an answer like that.

Thanks for the explanation. so-called tomb of Jesus - this is in Jerusalem or nearby?

Ya I wonder if they really think, that fighting in such a place is respectful to god.
