In 2025, Easter, both Orthodox and Catholics were celebrated in one day – April 20. And the Trinity is celebrated 50 days after Easter.
About it writes TSN. In 2025, according to the new Julian calculus system, which was introduced by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Trinity dates back to June 8.
The Trinity Holiday in Christianity embodies the mysterious unity of the three hypostasis-God-Father, God-Son and the Holy Spirit. It is intended to inspire believers to become a deeper awareness of the spiritual essence of life and reminds that every person who goes the path of faith belongs to the universal family of God’s love and grace.
The Trinity is one of the most striking and colorful holidays in the Christian year, generously full of symbolism of nature, life and spiritual renew. It is accompanied by numerous ancient rites and folk traditions:
- Greens’ consecration: in churches bless the branches of trees, fragrant grasses and flowers, which then bring home to decorate the home – as a sign of God’s blessing and renewal of life.
- Wreath weaving: young girls create wreaths of meadow plants – these symbolic jewelry embody youth, fertility and harmony with nature.
- Outdoors: Families gather for picnics in the forest or near the rivers where they rest, take place and spend time in joint games and entertainment.
- Festive treats: meat and milk dishes are served to the table that symbolize the welfare, health and joy of life.
Why the Trinity in Ukraine carries another name of green holidays
In Ukraine, the Trinity is often called green holidays because of the combination of Christian and ancient pagan traditions, in the center of which is the cult of nature, the renewal and honoring of green.
In pre -Christian times, these days, a period was blossomed. People honored the spirits of plants, forests and water, believing that the greens have healing and charm.
With the adoption of Christianity, this tradition has not disappeared, but has acquired new content – believers decorate temples and homes with branches of maple, oak, oak, smelling herbs and flowers, honoring the Holy Spirit as a life -giving power.
The greens have become a symbol of spiritual awakening, growth, peace and blessing coming from God. That is why the holiday was given the popular name – green holidays.
That cannot be done on green holidays
There are many prohibitions and warnings on the green holidays (Trinity) in the Ukrainian tradition, which have both religious and folk roots.
What cannot be done on the Trinity:
Any negative emotions are also forbidden-a day of love, peace and unity with your neighbor and with God.
This year, before Easter, the managers of Ukrainian stores pleased consumers of the Easter cakes, where the main part consists of a sweet top. The media found out that priests react calmly to such a work of cooking. They point out that the size and shape of the belt intended for consecration in the church does not matter.
