Canon 2.
“. . . that before the age of 25 neither male clerics be ordained nor virgins consecrated. ”Canon 34. “That a priest should not consecrate virgins without having consulted his bishop. ”
Comment: The consecration of virgins probably refers to the imposition of the veil of women who took a vow of chastity.
