Canon 56

About the possibility of reading in church, on those days of the year when the death of the holy martyrs is commemorated, a description of their suffering.
Let it be permitted to read about the sufferings of the martyrs every year on those days when their memory is celebrated.
Greek original
Ἐξέστω ἔτι μὴν ἀναγινώσκεσθαι τὰ πάθη τῶν μαρτύρων, ἡνίκα αἱ ἐτήσιαι αὐτῶν ἡμέραι ἐπιτελοῦνται.[1]
