Testament of Our Lord

tr. Cooper and Maclean, 1902

12. Book II, Chapter 12

Let the end¹ 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 refresh² themselves a little in the days of Pentecost, and on every first day of the week.

Let the bishop, before he offereth the Offering,³ say what is fitting for the Offering, while those who are clothed in white receive from one another and say [to one another] Hallelujah.
