Services permitted to be conducted in the Holy Fifty Days
The Holy Synod decided that it had no objection whatsoever from conducting the sacrament of marriage in the Holy Fifty Days, as well as the consecration of Churches and Altars, and conditionalities, i.e. the ordination of Priests and Deacons, because there was no provision in the laws of the Church to prevent this matter, and our celebration of the joys of Christ does not prevent ordination.
