About Pentecost:
In the liturgical services of the feast of Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit (Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 2) is celebrated together with the full revelation of the Holy Trinity. The fullness of the Godhead is manifested with the Spirit’s coming to man, and the Church hymns celebrate this manifestation as the final act of God’s revelation to His creation. For this reason Pentecost Sunday is also called Trinity Day in the Orthodox Tradition. Thus, Pentecost is patronal feast day of Holy Trinity parish.
