Meaning and history
The holiday is celebrated by believers since 381 years. It was then that at the second Ecumenical Constantinople Church Cathedral approved the doctrine of the three hypers of God: father, Son and the Holy Spirit. On the same day, the fullness of the Holy Trinity was also revealed.
According to the New Testament, in front of the kingdom of Heavenly Jesus Christ promised to his disciples, the apostles that the Holy Spirit will send them to the consolation. After the Ascension of Christ, the apostles gathered daily at the Zion Gornice in Jerusalem for prayers and reading the Holy Scriptures. For the tenth day after the Ascension of Christ (50th after the Resurrection), being in the Hube, at the third hour of the day the apostles heard noise. There were fiery languages \u200b\u200bthat they wished on each of them. So, the students of Jesus were fulfilled by the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages, addressing the sermia to representatives of different peoples.
The day of the Saint Spirit is considered the day of the creation of the Christian Church, which began to spread throughout the world throughout the world.

From the XIV century, Catholics, the Trinity Holiday does not coincide with Pentecost - the Day of Source on the Apostles of the Holy Spirit.

Trinity and folk rituals
Before the adoption of Christianity in the Slavic calendar at the end of May, a semic, or green shints, was celebrated - the transition from spring by summer. The Trinity Holiday adopted many rites of this holiday. The main components were rituals associated with the cult of vegetation, the girl's walking, the commemoration of the dead. On Troitskaya (Semitskaya), the girls of 7-12 years old broke the birch branches and decorated with them the house outside and inside, the children dressed in a birch, drove round dance, sang songs, arranged a festive meal.
On Saturday, the eve of the Day of the Holy Trinity was made to remember the departed. This day is called the "strangled Saturday", or parental day.
The Holy Trinity is a theological term, reflecting the Christian doctrine of triipostasy. This is one of the most important concepts of Orthodoxy.
Dogmat about the Blessed Trinity is the foundation of the Christian religion.
God is one of the merits, but three in the face: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Trinity is unique and inseparable.
The word "Trinity" of non-biblical origin itself, in the Christian vocabulary, was introduced in the second half of the II century, Feofil Antioch. The doctrine of the Blessed Trinity is given in Christian Revelation.
Dogmat about the Blessed Trinity is incomprehensible, it is a mysterious dogma, incomprehensible at the level of reason. For the human reason, the doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity is controversial, because it is a mystery that cannot be expressed rationally.
Not by chance about. Pavel Florensky called Dogmat about the Holy Trinity "Cross for Human Thought." In order to take the dogmat about the Blessed Trinity, the sinful human mind must reject his claims to the ability to learn everything and rationally explain, that is, to persuade the mystery of the Blessed Trinity, it is necessary to reject their understanding.
The mystery of the Blessed Trinity is comprehended, and only partly, in the experience of spiritual life. This comprehension is always associated with a ascetic feat. V.N. Slovsky says: "The apaffular ascent is climbing in Calvary, so no speculative philosophy could have to rise to the mystery of the Blessed Trinity."
The Trinity is distinguished by Christianity from all other monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam. The doctrine of Trinity is the basis of the whole Christian loor and moralization, for example, the exercises about God Savior, about God consecrated, etc. V.N. Slovsky said that the doctrine of the Trinity "not only the basis, but also the highest goal of theology, for ... To know the mystery of the Blessed Trinity in her completeness - it means to enter the Divine Life, in the very life of the Blessed Trinity. "
The doctrine of the TRIMINA of God comes down to the three provisions:
1) God is Troic and Trochnaya is that there are three persons in God (Ipostasi): Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
2) Every face of the Blessed Trinity is God, but they are not the first of God, but the essence of a single divine creature.
3) All three persons are distinguished by personal, or hypostasic properties.
Holy Fathers, in order to somehow bring the doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity to the perception of a person, enjoyed various kinds of analogies borrowed from the world of creature.
For example, the sun and the light and heat outgoing from it. The water source originating the key and, actually, flow or river. Some see the analogy in the arrangement of the human mind (St. Ignatius of Bryanchanin. Ascetic experiments): "Our mind, the Word and Spirit, on the lump sum of its beginning and on their mutual relations, is the way of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit."
However, all these analogies are very imperfect. If we take the first analogy - the sun, outgoing rays and heat, then this analogy implies some time process. If we take the second analogy - the water source, the key and flow, then they differ only in our representation, and in reality it is a single water element. As for the analogy associated with the ability of the human mind, then it may be an analogy of the image of the revelation of the Blessed Trinity in the world, but not in any way of intraochy existence. In addition, all these analogies put the unity above the trocherity.
St. Vasily Vasily the most perfect from the analogies borrowed from the tweak world considered a rainbow, because "the same light and continuous in itself and multilyvet." "And in multicolor, a single face opens - no middle and transition between colors. It is not visible where the rays are distinguished. Clearly see the difference, but we cannot measure the distances. And in the aggregate, multicolor rays form a single white. A single entity opens in a multicolor radiance. "
Brief history of dogmat about the Blessed Trinity
In the fact that God is one essentially, but three in the persons, Christians always believed, but the dogmatic doctrine itself about the Blessed Trinity was created gradually, usually due to the emergence of various kinds of heretical delusions. The doctrine of Trinity in Christianity has always been associated with the teachings of Christ, with the teaching about the awareness. Trinitarian heresy, Trinitarian disputes had a Christological foundation.
In fact, the teaching about the Trinity became possible due to the awareness. As they say in the path of the Epiphany, in Christ "Troic worship". The doctrine of Christ "for Jews is temptation, but for ELLINOV madness" (1 Cor. 1, 23). Also, the teaching about the Trinity is a stumbling block and for the "strict" Jewish monotheism and for the Hellensky Polyteraism. Therefore, all attempts to disrete to comprehend the mystery of the Blessed Trinity were brought to delusions either the Jewish, or Ellensky.
The first to dissolve the faces of the Trinity in a single nature, for example, Savellyan, and others reduced the trinity to three unequal beings (Ariana). The condemnation of Arianism occurred in 325 on the first universal cathedral with Niii. The main act of this cathedral was the compilation of the Nicene Symbol of Faith, which included non-biblical terms, among which the term "Omoxios" was played a special role in trinitarian disputes of the IV century - "Uniform".
To reveal the authentic meaning of the term "Omoxios", the great efforts of the Great Cappadocians were needed: Vasily the Great, Grigory Theologian and Grigoria Nis.
Great Cappadocians, first of all, Vasily Great, strictly delimited the concepts of "entity" and "Ipostasi". The varyism of being and deigns belong equally to all three and best practices. Father, Son and the Holy Spirit The essence of her manifestation in the faces, of which everyone has all the completeness of the Divine Entity and is in an inseparable unity with her. The same hypostasis among themselves are only personal (hypostasic) properties.
In addition, Cappadocians were actually identified (first of all two Gregory: Naziazine and the Nis) The concept of "IPOST" and "face". "Face" in theology and philosophy of that time was the term belonging not to ontological, but to a descriptive plan, i.e., the face could be called a mask of the actor or the legal role that a person was performed.
Having identified the "face" and "Ipostaska" in the Trunk theology, Cappadocians, thereby transferred this term from the plan of descriptive to the plan on the plan. The consequence of this identification was essentially the emergence of a new concept, which the ancient world did not know: this term is "personality". Cappadocians managed to reconcile the abstractness of Greek philosophical thought with the biblical idea of \u200b\u200ba personal deity.
Differences of Divine Persons by Hitness Properties
According to the teachings, the IPostasi is the essence of the individual, and not impersonal forces. At the same time, the hypostasis possess a single nature. Naturally the question arises how to distinguish them?
All divine properties relate to the general nature, they are characteristic of all three and therefore, the differences in divine persons themselves cannot express. It is impossible to give the absolute definition of each hatchet, using one of the divine names.
One of the features of Personal Being is that the personality is unique and unique, and therefore it cannot be determined, it cannot be brought under a certain concept, since the concept always summarizes; It is impossible to lead to a common denominator. Therefore, the personality can only be perceived through their attitude to other personalities.
This is what we see in, where the idea of \u200b\u200bdivine persons is based on the relationships that exist between them.
Approximately starting from the end of the IV century, it is possible to talk about the generally accepted terminology, according to which the hypostasic properties are expressed by the following terms: the father - the saint - the son is Birth (from the Father), and the discharge (from the Father) in the Holy Spirit. Personal properties The essence of the intrinsic properties, always remaining unchanged, solely belonging to this or another of the Divine Persons. Thanks to these properties, the face varies from each other, and we learn them as special hypostasis.
At the same time, there are three hatching in God, we confess the Trinity of a unique and inseparable. Uniform means that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the essence of three independent divine persons with all divine perfections, but these are not three special separate creatures, not three God, but a single God. They have a single and inseparable divine nature. Each of the Trinity Persons has a Divine Nature perfectly and fully.
The Day of the Holy Trinity is celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter, so this one is also called Pentecost. Pentecost holiday, or the day of the Holy Trinity passed. On the tenth day for the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ, on the day of the Jewish holiday of the first harvest, when the disciples and with them Virgin Mary were in the Zion Gornice, a strong noise was heard in the air in the air, as during a storm. In the air appeared bright trembling languages \u200b\u200bof fire. It was a fire not real - he was one nature with a fertile fire, which annually comes off in Jerusalem for Easter, he shone, not burning. Welding over the heads of the apostles, the languages \u200b\u200bof fire dropped on them and overtake. Immediately, together with the external phenomenon, there was an internal, which was performed in: "Executive VSI Holy Spirit." - And the Mother of God, and the apostles felt an extraordinary force in them in that moment. Just and directly, he was given over the new graceful gift of verb - they spoke in languages \u200b\u200bthat did not know before. It was the gift required for the preaching of the Gospel around the world.
In memory of this event, the feast of Pentecost is also called the Day of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, as well as the Day of the Holy Trinity: In the phenomenon of the Holy Spirit, the sacrament of the Unity of the Holy Trinity revealed the saint of the Holy Son's God. The name of Pentecost, this day received not only in the memory of the ancient holiday, but also because this event had to fiftle the day after the Christian Easter. As Easter Christ, Christ replaced the ancient Jewish holiday, and Pentecost put the foundation of the Church of Christ as the Union in the Spirit on Earth.
About the Holy Trinity on "Legal":
Trinity. Icons
One of the first in the iconography of the Trinity appeared the plot of the phenomenon of Three Angels Abraham ("Hospitality of Abraham"), set out in the eighteenth chapter of the Bible Book of Genesis. He tells about how the plants of Abraham, the ancestor of the chosen people, met Mamre's three mysterious wanders from the Dubrava (in the next chapter they were called angels). During the meal in the House of Abraham, he was given a promise of the upcoming wonderful birth of the son of Isaac. By the will of God, the "People Great and Strong" should have happened from Abraham, in which "blesses ... all the peoples of the Earth."
In the second millennium, the custom arises to add the plot "Hospitality of Abraham" with the words "Holy Trinity": such an inscription is available on one of the miniatures of the Greek Psalti of the XI century. In this miniature, the head of the middle angel is crowned with a cross-nimber: he turned to the viewer is frontal, while two other angel are depicted in three-hard turnover.
The same type of image is found on the doors of the christmas temple of the Virgin in Suzdal (approx. 1230) and on the fresco of Feofan Greek from the Novgorod Temple of the Savior Transfiguration on Ilyin Street. The cross NIBE indicates that the central angel is identified with Christ.
It is known that the iconographic version of the Trinity without the forefast existed to the Rublev in the Byzantine art. But all these compositions do not wear an independent nature. Andrei Rublev not only gives the image one-piece and independent character, but makes it the finished theological text. On a light background, three angels are depicted around the table, on which there is a bowl. The middle angel towers over the others, behind his back is depicted a tree, behind the right angel - Mountain, behind the left - chambers. Angels heads are inclined in a silent conversation. Their liks are similar, as if the same face is depicted in three versions. The whole composition is inscribed in the system of concentric circles, which can be carried out on the nimbam, on the abis of wings, on the movement of the angelic hands, and all these circles converge into the epicenter of the icons, where the bowl is depicted, and in the bowl - Taurus head. Before us is not just a meal, but the Eucharistic meal in which the redemptive sacrifice is performed. The Trinity of Andrei Rublev is a symbolic image of the territy of the Divine, which is already indicated by a stallal cathedral. After all, the visit to Abraham in Three Angels was not the phenomenon of the Blessed Trinity, but it was only the "prophetic vision of this mystery, which during the centuries will gradually open the believers of the church." In accordance with this, both the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit appear in the icon of Rublev, but three angels, symbolizing the forensic council of three sacred trinity. The symbolism of the ruble icon in something is akin to the symbolism of early Christian painting, hiding deep dogmatic truths under ordinary, but spiritually significant symbols.

This wonderful property takes place every year and is currently on the convergence of the fertile fire in Jerusalem. On the Great Saturday, on the eve of the Orthodox Easter - during the first few minutes the fire really shines, but does not burn.
Each of the apostles felt an extraordinary tide of spiritual forces - this is God, through fiery flame languages \u200b\u200bhanded the strength of the apostles so that they can preach and glorify the teachings of Christ.
Hearing a strong noise, pilgrims began to gather at the Zion Torny, and the apostles went down to the people and
"They began to speak in other languages, as the spirit gave them to walked" (Acts.2.4)
The miracle was that each of the people heard in his own language, so the people were very surprised by such a phenomenon.
Many knew the apostles as ordinary poor people who were not trained in sciences and, accordingly, were not trained by oratory. 
The people spent, tried to explain what happened by the fact that the apostles " sweet wine drunk"And in response to this accusation, the most hot in the nature of the apostle Peter, unexpectedly for everyone and, above all for himself, began the first to sermon in his life.
Now, the mouth of a simple poor man, Peter, spoke to the Holy Spirit himself. The apostle preached them about the life of Jesus Christ and his martyrdom. The words of the Apostle Peter fired deeply in the soul.
"What should we do?" - asked him. "Repent, and yes, each of you is baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins; And get the gift of the Holy Spirit "(Acts 2,37-38).
After his sermon about three thousand people believed and became Christians.
Thus, the Lord handed 9 special gifts to his disciples:
The gift of wisdom and knowledge, the gift of prophecy, the ability to distinguish between spirits, gifts of shepherds, faith, healing and creatures of miracles, gifts of knowledge and interpretation of languages.
The apostles were literally reborn - became people of strong faith, the unusual power of the Spirit. From his teacher, they knew that their life would be not easy, there would be ahead of their bowl of suffering ahead, their life would be full of ridicule, bullying, beatings and conclusions in the dungeon. And indeed - they almost all died or were executed.
To overcome these suffering, the ascended Jesus Christ sent his Holy Spirit of the Comforter. And now neither the crucifixion on the crosses nor the burning of fires, nor death under the country's stones could no longer be forced to stop the God's apostles in the preaching of Divine exercise around the world.
Zion Torny.After the convergence of the Holy Spirit on the apostles and Mother of God who were in it, began to be considered the first Christian temple. And this day began to be called the feast of the Holy Trinity, in honor of the fact that the Lord revealed himself to people in three horseshoes - the god of the Father, the God of the Son and the Holy Spirit.
