(6 Jan 2019) Dozens of Palestinians on Sunday protested against the arrival of the Greek Orthodox patriarch of the Holy Land to celebrate Orthodox Christmas in Bethlehem.
Patriarch Theophilos III arrived in the town surrounded by Palestinian security forces.
Protesters chanted "traitor" as he made his way toward the Church of the Nativity, traditionally revered as Jesus' birthplace.
Palestinians have been demanding the resignation of Theophilos III for allegedly selling church land to Israelis in favourable deals.
The church is one of the largest real estate owners in the Holy Land.
The Orthodox Church observes Christmas on 7 January, because it retained the Julian calendar for its liturgical schedule.
