1 ST. HELEN CHURCH RIVERSIDE, OHIO May 31, 2015 SOLEMNITY OF THE HOLY TRINITY Trinity Sunday, also known as Holy Trinity Sunday, is celebrated a week after Pentecost Sunday in honor of the most fundamental of Christian beliefs belief in the Holy Trinity. We can never fully understand the mystery of the Trinity, but we can sum it up in the following formula: God is three Persons in one Nature. The three Persons of God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all equally God, and They cannot be divided.
