Restrictions on exercising worship can be applied for the protection of hunan life  and health during pandemic crisis  by the power of the 88th Canon of the Penthekti Ecumenical Synods (In Trullo, 691).The Holy Canon introduces a  general principle within the postitive law of the Church. It is described as the principle of apatheia:  "And we are taught that the Sabbath was made for man: wherefore also the safety and comfort of man are by all means to be placed first."

The 2nd Canon of the 1st Ecumenical Synod, reads he 1 Tim 3:6 with the word "trap"῾ before the phrase "of the devil". An hermeneutical "deadlock" is now solved.The Canon is a credible "external witness" of the authentic biblical text. In the critical restoration of the holy text we follow the holisitc-rational approach. The real meaning of the particular verse, which is an excerpt of the Holy Scripture is revealed by an equally ῾holy῾ text, the second canon of the First Ecumenical Synod. Apart from the critical restoration, it is noted that the canon "repeats" 1 Tim 3:6 in order to introduce to the canonical corpus of the Church the prohibition of ordination of the recently baptised. We watch the canonical evolution of this prohibition, comparing this first canon with later canonical regulations, as well as, the semantic evolution of the word "neophytus" (=recently baptised). The word is recognized as terminus technicus in canon law, which includes every person who has recently abandoned secular life wishing to be ordained, or a recently ordained clergyman, which is not mature enough to ascend the hierarchy. We observe, that through time penal provisions become more lenient, however the categories of the subjects which are included in the ban expands.

The Book (or Treatise) of Heracleidis is known as the Apology of Nestorius. The comparative examination of its text with the Minutes of the Third Ecumenical Synod, throws new light on Nestorius´ trial and conviction, and brings to light new research elements, regarding the juridical procedures of the era. Last but not least, the survey reveals who is hiding under the pseudonym ῾Heracleidis῾. In contrast to what was beleived until today, the writer of the Treatise is not Nestorius, or a student of him, but, Hereneus of Tyros, his loyal friend and defense counsel before the Emperor, at Nestorius' trial.

It is proved that the Holy Canons of the seven Ecumenical Synods, and subsequently the whole framework of Canon Law, applies and follows the no punishment without preexisting law principle, firstly introduced in ecclesiastical law by Saint Paul the Apostle. What is really notable is that Holy Canons service the admissible exceptions of the nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege praevia doctrine, in almost the same way they are instituted in contemporaries statuary penal laws.

Ρουμανικά: «Învăţătura Sinodului de la Iaşi (1642-1643) cu privire la prefacerea Cinstitelor Daruri, în lumina tradiţiei canonice» Teologia anul XI, nr. 3/2007, pp. 242-280Η παρούσα μελέτη πραγματεύεται την περί μεταβολής των "Τιμίων Δώρων" σε σώμα και αίμα Χριστού διδασκαλία της "Ομολογίας" της Πανορθοδόξου Συνόδου του Ιασίου (1642/43) υπό το φως της Κανονικής Παραδόσεως. Η εξέταση της αντιρρητικής της Συνόδου προς ετερόδοξες απόψεις διενεργείται με αξιοποίηση του ασφαλούς κριτηρίου της ορθόδοξης κανονικής διδασκαλίας. Ο όρος "μετουσίωσις" της ύλης του ευχαριστιακού Μυστηρίου συμπαραβάλλεται με τον κανονικό όρο "μετουσία", ο οποίος τοποθετεί στο επίκεντρο του ενδιαφέροντος το γεγονός της "ανακράσεως" του έμψυχου σώματος των πιστών με το "του Θεού σώμα". Η ορθόδοξη κανονική διδασκαλία δεν επιδιώκει να εξηγήσει το θαύμα της πραγματικής μεταβολής των Τιμίων Δώρων, αλλά να ενισχύσει την πίστη στη "θεουργία" των μετεχόντων στο Μυστήριο. Αν η μεταβολή των Τιμίων Δώρων δεν ήταν πραγματική αλλά συμβολική, τότε το ευχαριστηριοκεντρικό σύστημα απονομής της εκκλησιαστικής δικαιοσύνης θα είχε μια εγγενή αδυναμία ως προς την εποικοδομητική, εγκληματοπροληπτική εν τέλει σωτηριολογική του λειτουργία.

The 88th Canon of  the Synod in Tullo (Trullo 88), punishing the crime of importing animal at church, remained for centuries at the backstage of canonical research, undermined, forgotten and misunderstood. This survey, brings the canon to the forefront, and spotlights its content as a most singnificant disclosure of the structure and theory of Church Criminal Law. The book is a manual of the General Part of Church Criminal Law: The action, the hypostasis of the crime, reasons of  lifting the unjust, external terms of criminality, criminal liabilty  are investigated in this "byzantine" canon. Last but not least:  a) we analyse how  the General Principle of  placing the Rights  Human Life and Health at the top of the Pyramid of Canonical Protection is provided by the Trullo 88 and is introduced to the whole Canon Law, b) we notice  the fact that the Canon introduces the Evangelic speech about the Sabbath into the field of Church Law, with serious consequences in the "philosophy" (=theology) of Orthodox Canon Law.
