Canon 62 Pagan festivals, masks, dances and cross-dressing forbidden

The so-called Calends, and the so-called Vota, and the so-called Brumalia, and the festival held on the first day of the month of March, we wish to be removed once and for all from the way of life of the faithful. And moreover the public dances of women, as indecent and able to cause much ruin and harm, and also the dances and rites performed, whether by men or by women, in the name of those falsely named gods among the Hellenes, according to some ancient custom alien to the life of Christians, we reject, decreeing that no man put on a woman's dress, or a woman that which is suited to men; nor put on masks, comic, or satyric, or tragic; nor shout out the name of the abominable Dionysus while pressing the grape in the winepresses; nor, when pouring the wine into the jars, stir up laughter, in the manner of ignorance or vanity, working the things of demonic error. Those therefore who from now on undertake to perform any of the aforesaid, being established in the knowledge of these things, these, if they be clerics, we command to be deposed; and if laymen, to be excommunicated.
