Trinity Sunday

1)     This is the feast that marks the conclusion of the liturgical telling of the story of the life of Christ. This story telling through the use of the calendar has stretched from Christmas to Pentecost. In England the feast became popular because of its associations with Archbishop Thomas Becket who was consecrated bishop on that day. Until thirty years ago most ordinations in the Church of England took place on that day which affirms the unity of God as revealed in the forms of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. According to the English usage Sundays are reckoned after Trinity and not after Pentecost as is elsewhere the custom.
