Synod of Laodicea
Local councils, NPNF II.14
Chapter 39
It is not lawful to feast together with the heathen, and to be partakers of their godlessness.
Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canons XXXVII., XXXVIII, and XXXIX
Thou shalt not keep feasts with Hebrews or heretics, nor receive festival offerings from them.
Balsamon
Read canon lxx. and canon lxxj. of the Holy Apostles, and Canon lx.1 of the Synod of Carthage.
Aristenus
Light hath no communion with darkness. Therefore no Christian should celebrate a feast with heretics or Jews, neither should he receive anything connected with these feasts such as azymes and the like.
Notes
- So both Zonaras and Balsamon give the number, but in this they follow the Latin numbers of the African Code, the Greek number is lxiij.
