Exaltation (Elevation) of the Precious Cross

Canon 57

About the excommunication of those who laugh at the blind, deaf, and lame.
If any cleric laughs at someone who is crippled, deaf, blind, or has damaged legs, then let him be excommunicated. Likewise the layman.
Greek original
Εἴ τις κληρικὸς χωλόν, ἢ κωφόν, ἢ τυφλόν, ἢ τὰς βάσεις πεπληγμένον χλευάσοι, ἀφοριζέσθω. Ὡσαύτως καὶ λαϊκός.
