Exaltation (Elevation) of the Precious Cross

Canon 56

On the need for presbyters to show bishops the honor due to their rank.
That presbyters should not enter and sit in the altar before the bishop enters, but should enter with the bishop, unless the bishop is ill or is away.
Greek original
Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ πρεσβυτέρους πρὸ τῆς εἰσόδου τοῦ ἐπισκόπου εἰσιέναι καὶ καθέζεσθαι ἐν τῷ βημάτι, ἀλλὰ μετὰ τοῦ ἐπισκόπου εἰσιέναι· πλὴν εἰ μὴ ἀνωμαλοίη ἢ ἀποδημοῖ ὁ ἐπίσκοπος.
