The Holy Trinity is a concept in Christianity that tries to explain the relationship between God the Father, Jesus Christ as God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christians believe that there is one God yet in three persons - much the same (although not exacty the same!) as a man could be described as a work colleague, a husbamd or a father depending upon the situation. Whereas at Trinity Sunday we think especially of the Trinity, at Christmas and Easter we think especially of Jesus as God the Son and what the Father did in jesus' birth and resurrection, at Pentecost we think of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost was the time when the disciples met and received the Holy Spirit that gave them confidence and strength to go out and preach the good news of Jesus. This was the result of a prophesy made hundreds of years before by Joel (Chapter 2, 28-32) which can be read in the Bible in the Old Testament in the Book of Joel. From dejected fishermen, tax collectors and such like, they were transformed into a dynamic force proclaiming the message and enabling the aspread of Christianity to take place at a lightning rate despite persecution from the authorities. The whole story can be read in the Bible, Acts Chapter 2.
The holy spirit was given to the disciples on the day of Pentecost in the upper room in Jerusalem.
