TRINITY See also:

SUNDAY , the Sunday next after See also:Whitsunday. A festival in See also:honour of the Trinity had been celebrated locally at various See also:dates before See also:Pope See also:John XXII. in 1334 ordered its See also:general observance on the See also:octave of Whitsunday. According to Gervase of See also:Canterbury, it had been introduced into See also:England by See also:Thomas See also:Becket, See also:archbishop of Canterbury, in 1162. It has, however, never been reckoned among the See also:great festivals of the See also:Church. From Trinity Sunday onwards all Sundays until the See also:close of the ecclesiastical See also:year are reckoned as " after Trinity." In the See also:Roman Church these Sundays are also reckoned as " after See also:Pentecost." In the latter See also:case they are described as dominicae trinitatis, not to be confused with dominicae See also:post trinitatis; e.g. See also:Dominica sexta post trinitatis is the same as Dominica septima trinitatis.
