TRINITY SUNDAY

From Trinity Sunday onwards all Sundays until the close of the ecclesiastical year are reckoned as " after Trinity." In the Roman Church these Sundays are also reckoned as " after Pentecost." In the latter case they are described as dominicae trinitatis, not to be confused with dominicae post trinitatis; e.g
.
Dominica sexta post trinitatis is the same as Dominica septima trinitatis
