Trinity Celebrates Our Feast Day

This week we celebrated Trinity Feast Day with a beautiful mass led by Mr Niddrie and Year 3/4 which was followed by an afternoon of activities learning about The Holy Trinity, led by Year 6 Peer Support Leaders. At the end of the day, we came together to share in the ‘Celebrating Trinity’ cupcakes before heading off for our long weekend with family and friends. Special thanks to Mrs Birks who kindly baked all the cupcakes for our students to enjoy, with the support of Mrs Cooper’s decorating skills.

Holy Trinity

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday or the Feast of the Holy Trinity, which takes place on the Sunday after Pentecost. Trinity Sunday celebrates our Christian belief that God is present in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As Christians, we believe that God speaks to us and is with us in those three persons.

One way to explain this to children is through using the idea of an apple. This is how our Peer Support Leaders explained the Holy Trinity to their peers this week.

The Holy Trinity

If you cut an apple into pieces, you will see that there is a skin, flesh, and seeds.

The skin of the apple is like God the Father, protecting us.

The flesh of the apple is like God the Son, who became flesh.

The seeds of the apple are like God the Holy Spirit, because through his power we grow in faith.

The whole apple is like the Holy Trinity – three parts of God in one.

A Family Prayer

As we head into the Long Weekend. Stay safe, keep warm and enjoy the company of family and friends.
