Canon 32 Water must be mixed with the eucharistic wine

Since it has come to our knowledge that in the country of the Armenians those who celebrate the bloodless sacrifice offer wine alone on the holy table, not mixing water with it, putting forward the teacher of the Church, John Chrysostom, who says these things in his interpretation of the Gospel according to Matthew: For what reason did he, having risen, drink not water but wine? Tearing up another wicked heresy by the roots. For since there are some who use water in the mysteries, showing that both when he delivered the mysteries, and when, having risen, he set out a plain table without mysteries, he used wine, of the fruit, he says, of the vine; and a vine produces wine, not water; and from this they think that the teacher overturns the offering of water in the holy sacrifice: so that they may not from now on be held fast by ignorance, we disclose in an Orthodox manner the mind of the Father. For since the wicked heresy of the Hydroparastatae is ancient, who in their own sacrifice use water alone instead of wine, this God-bearing man, refuting the lawless teaching of such a heresy, and showing that they proceed contrary to the apostolic tradition, composed the argument cited. For in the church under him also, where he was entrusted with the pastoral governance, he handed down that water be mixed with wine whenever the bloodless sacrifice had to be celebrated, pointing to the mingling of blood and water from the precious side of our Redeemer and Saviour Christ God, which was poured out for the quickening of the whole world and the redemption of sins; and in every church, indeed, where the spiritual luminaries have shone forth, this God-given order prevails. For James also, the brother according to the flesh of Christ our God, who was first entrusted with the throne of the church of Jerusalem, and Basil, the archbishop of Caesarea, whose fame has run through the whole inhabited world, having handed down to us in writing the mystical sacred rite, have set forth that the holy cup in the divine liturgy be thus completed from water and wine. And the holy Fathers assembled in Carthage made mention thus expressly: that in the holy things nothing more be offered than the body and the blood of the Lord, as the Lord himself handed down, that is, bread and wine mixed with water. If, therefore, any bishop or presbyter does not act according to the order handed down by the Apostles, mixing water with wine and so offering the immaculate sacrifice, let him be deposed, as proclaiming the mystery imperfectly and innovating in the things handed down.
