Trinity Sunday celebrates the the Christian doctrine of the Trinity on the first Sunday after Pentecost.
Does anyone here celebrate this?
Do you ask because you're just going to have something nasty to say about it, or are you actually interested?
What do you want to know?

Supergirl, I have nothing nasty to say about the Trinity.
Did you have a question about it?
Why did you want to know if anyone "celebrated" it?
Most Western Christian churches celebrate it. It is the same as the First Sunday after Pentecost. It fell on June 11 this year.

Like Dive, I had not heard about this celebration and didn't realize that Christians actually had a specific 'day' put aside for the Trinity.
I was just wondering if anyone here celebrated this.....and why?
No underlying motive.

Apologies.

I wonder what sort of celebration occurs?

Originally posted by @chaney3There is no actual 'celebration', per se, at least not in the church I go to. There are seven Principal Feast Days in the calendar of the Episcopal Church: Easter Sunday, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, All Saints' Day, Christmas Day and the Epiphany. Feast Days are not days of actual 'feasting', they are days of yes, celebration, with some special rites, psalms and lessons. There might be a special sermon or other services might focus on the meaning of the day. We are urged to keep the day in mind when praying and it is a time of turning our thoughts towards the reason for the day in question. The main liturgy of my church is the Eucharist, and this is held every Sunday, regardless of Feast Days, major or minor.

But there is no "Woohoo! It's Trinity Sunday!" or anything like that. 🙂
