Why not settle the issue with a coin toss? Or better yet, alternate years, letting the Armenians be first next year.

It would make a great seminary "ecumenism" seminar topic - "Just whose Holy Fire is it anyway?"

LOL! Anyway the whole thing is a misunderstanding. These people are Zorastrians (the ancient Middle Eastern religion of fire worshippers). They got hammered by the Muslims back in the olden days, so they retreated to a building in Jerusalem and held annual interesting fire worshipping displays ...
