As most of you kow, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria will elect the 118th Pope and Patriarch of the Apostolic See of St Mark tomorrow.
The results of the lot will be announced at about midday Cairo time (10am GMT). If nobody has done so before, I will update the thread with the reult tomorrow,
Please keep the Coptic Church in your prayers.

Today the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria elected Bishop Tawadros as the new Patriarch using the lot system.
May the Lord Grant Pope Tawadros II many years and peaceful times.

Where does the tradition of the blindfolded child choosing the lottery come from? When did it begin? What's the story behind that . . . ?
