Canon 79 No boiled fine flour after the Nativity

Confessing the divine birth from the Virgin to have been without childbed, as being also formed without seed, and proclaiming this to all the flock, we subject to correction those who from ignorance do anything that ought not to be done. Wherefore, since some after the day of the holy Nativity of Christ our God are seen boiling fine flour and sharing it with one another, on the pretext, forsooth, of honouring the childbed of the immaculate Virgin Mother, we decree that nothing of the kind be done by the faithful. For it is no honour to the Virgin, who beyond mind and word bore in the flesh the uncontainable Word, to define and delineate what belongs to her ineffable birth-giving from things that are common and of our own condition. If then anyone from now on is caught doing any such thing, if he is a cleric, let him be deposed; if a layman, let him be excommunicated.
