Koverte s imenima kandidata bit će stavljene u Knjigu evanđelja i novog patrijarha će odabrati "Sveti duh", jer će odabrani svećenik izvući kovertu s imenom novog patrijarha.
Envelopes containing the candidates' names will be placed into the Gospel Book and the new patriarch will be chosen by "the Holy Spirit", as a selected priest removes the envelope with the name of the new patriarch.
