Canon 71

That a Christian is subject to excommunication who celebrates with Jews or pagans, or who burns oil or a lamp during their false worship.
If a Christian brings oil to the temple of the pagans or the synagogue of the Jews on their holidays or lights lamps, he will be excommunicated.
Greek original
Εἴ τις χριστιανὸς ἔλαιον ἀπενέγκοι εἰς ἱερὸν ἐθνῶν, ἢ εἰς συναγωγὴν Ἰουδαίων, ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς αὐτῶν, ἢ λύχνους ἅπτοι, ἀφοριζέσθω.
