The meaning of the holiday.

On the 50th day after the resurrection of Christ, the apostles gathered in Zion's room in Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit appeared before them in light and radiance. After that, the apostles received the ability to heal and prophesy, as well as to speak in different languages, which allowed them to carry the word of God to every person on Earth..

This holiday is called the Trinity because on this day the whole fullness of the action of the Holy Trinity was revealed to the world and people began to glorify the three hypostases of the One Deity: God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit.
