I will be discussing the foundation of Trinity History with primary sources and the Sacred Word. Any primary sources can be found at a university, theology library, online primary sources, or local library. Trinity is a Catholic Doctrine and belief that many Christians are following based on the Three Ecumenical or Universal Creeds that all founders of the faith compromise on.

3. the Sunday after Whitsunday observed as a feast in honor of the Trinity
HMMMM, moment!!!!!
Whitsunday: noun
1.the seventh Sunday after Easter, celebrated as a festival incommemoration of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.
Pentecost, the 50th and final day of the Easter Season, celebrates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles in the book of Acts, ushering in the beginning of the Church. 50 Days after Jesus' resurrection (and 10 days after his Ascension), the apostles were gathered together, confused and contemplating their future purpose and mission.
On the day of Pentecost, a flame rested upon the shoulders of the apostles and they began to speak in tongues (languages), by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus Pentecost is a time for many Catholics and other Christians to celebrate two important realities: the Holy Spirit and the Church. Pentecost has long been a very important feast in The Catholic and Orthodox Churches because it celebrates the official beginning of the Church. It is one of the twelve Great Feasts of the Eastern Church, second only in importance to Pascha (Easter). Pentecost always falls on a Sunday, fifty days after Easter Sunday (inclusive of Easter Sunday), and occurs during mid-to-late Spring in the Northern hemisphere, and mid-to-late autumn in the Southern hemisphere. The summer season of Ordinary Time begins on the Monday immediately following Pentecost Sunday.
