Chapter 59

1Let the end? of Pascha be after the Saturday, at midnight. [At] Pentecost let no one fast or kneel. For these are days of rest and joy. Let those who bear the burdens of labour refresh? themselves a little in the days of Pentecost, and on every first day of the week. Let the bishop, before he offereth the Offering,* say what is fitting for the Offering, while those who are clothed in white receive from one another and say [to one another] Hallelujah.
