The Holy Spirit
On the day after Pentecost, Monday, the Church celebrates the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Holy Trinity, and the Holy Trinity in general.

The third person of the Trinity, the third person of the Holy Trinity, and the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, with the Father and the Son, is the Triune God of Christianity. He is homogeneous and coequal to the two other persons and is distinguished from them in substance (“Monas in triad and trias in monad”). The monotheism of Christianity is Trinitarian, not monadological, as in Judaism and Mohammedanism.

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed (381), better known as the Creed, states that the Holy Spirit is principal and life-giving, is co-constituted and co-present with the Father and the Son, and proceeds from the Father (“… And to the Holy Spirit, the principal, the life-giving, the one who proceeds from the Father, the one who is joined and co-existent with the Father and the Son, they have spoken through the prophets…”).

The peculiarity of the mode of existence of the Holy Spirit (emanating from the Father) was misinterpreted by the Arian Visigoths of Spain, who maintained that the Holy Spirit proceeds not only from the Father, but also from the Son. They added this phrase to the Creed at the Council of Toledo (589) and influenced the entire theology of Western Christendom. This doctrinal difference between Western and Eastern Christianity caused the Schism of 1054.

The Orthodox Church allows the depiction of the Holy Spirit in only two cases: As a dove in the depiction of Epiphany and as a fiery tongue in the depiction of Pentecost.

The feast day of the Holy Spirit is a holiday in many Christian countries around the world. In our country, it was originally a holiday only for civil servants, since the Holy Spirit is their patron saint. Still, over time it has been extended to many sectors of the private sector.

The day of the Holy Spirit is celebrated by the churches called the Holy Trinity and is celebrated by those who bear the names Trinity and Triad.
