The answer
The main significance of the election process of the Pope of Alexandria is that through prayer and fasting, God will personally elect the right person at the right time to lead His church. That is why in our church, once all the prayers and examination of all the candidates are concluded, a young boy is blindfolded and selected to choose one sealed name from the three final candidates. This is a divine election.Answered by His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef (opens in a new tab)
