Canon 46

On the abolition of the custom of consecrating honey and wine along with the Holy Gifts for the newly baptized.
In the holy sacrament, let nothing be offered except the Body and Blood of the Lord, as the Lord Himself commanded, that is, except bread and wine mixed with water. And the firstfruits, either honey or milk - for the sacrament of infants - although they are mainly brought to the altar, let them have their own blessing in order to be distinguished from the shrine of the Body and Blood of the Lord. And let them not bring the firstfruits of anything except grapes and wheat.
Greek original
Ἵνα ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις μηδὲν πλέον τοῦ σώματος καὶ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ Κυρίου προσενεχθείη, ὡς καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Κύριος παρέδωκε, τουτέστιν, ἄρτου καὶ οἴνου ὕδατι μεμιγμένου. Ἀπαρχὴ δέ, εἴτε μέλι, εἴτε γάλα, ὡς εἴωθε, προσφερέσθω ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἐθίμῳ εἰς τὸ τῶν νηπίων μυστήριον· εἰ καὶ τὰ τὰ μάλιστα γὰρ ἐν θυσιαστηρίῳ προσφέρεται, ὅμως ἰδίαν ἐχέτω κυρίως εὐλογίαν, ὡς ἐκ τοῦ ἁγιάσματος τοῦ Κυριακοῦ σώματος καὶ αἵματος διΐστασθαι. Μηδὲν δὲ πλέον ἐν ταῖς ἀπαρχαῖς προσφερέσθω, ἢ ἀπὸ σταφυλῶν καὶ σίτου.[1]
