Shovljanski mentioned that according to the recommendations of the Crisis Personnel and all epidemiological measures, it will not be possible to kiss the body of the patriarch. “People will be able to enter from the west side of the temple through the central entrance and approach a few meters from the body, bow and leave again,” said the priest. He called on all believers to wear masks, not to stay too long, and not to make crowds. The patriarch will be buried on Sunday in the crypt of the St. Sava temple after the liturgy and service. The liturgy is expected to be served by Bishop Chrysostom of Dabro-Bosnia, who, as the oldest bishop, will preside over the Holy Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church until the election of a new patriarch.
