The Holy Canons Apostolic Canon 73

Canon 73 Sanctified vessels and linen not for private use

Ἱεροὶ Κανόνες τῶν Ἁγίων καὶ Πανσέπτων Ἀποστόλων

The Apostolic Canons · compiled in Syria in the later fourth century · The Apostolic Canons on the map

A vessel of gold or silver that has been sanctified, or a linen cloth, let no one any longer appropriate to his own use; for it is unlawful. And if anyone is caught, let him be punished with excommunication.

Σκεῦος χρυσοῦν ἢ ἀργυροῦν ἁγιασθέν, ἢ ὀθόνην, μηδεὶς ἔτι εἰς οἰκείαν χρῆσιν σφετεριζέσθω· παράνομον γάρ. Εἰ δέ τις φωραθείη, ἐπιτιμάσθω ἀφορισμῷ.
