Trinity (Pentecost) Sunday in Russia

Trinity Sunday (also called Trinity Day, or Descent of the Holy Spirit) is the Sunday of Pentecost, one of the Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church, celebrated fifty days after Pascha (thus always falling on a Sunday).  
In Russia the feast is known as Troitsa (Троица - the Trinity). The liturgical color used at Pentecost is green, and the clergy and faithful carry flowers and green branches in their hands during the services.
