Quoted from Learn Religions [1]:
Trinity Sunday is a moveable feast celebrated a week after Pentecost Sunday. Also known as Holy Trinity Sunday, Trinity Sunday honors the most fundamental of Christian beliefs—belief in the Holy Trinity. The human mind can never fully understand the mystery of the Trinity, but we can sum it up in the following formula: God is three Persons in one Nature. There is only one God, and the three Persons of God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—are all equally God, and They cannot be divided.
Quoted from Catholic Link [2]:
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, called “Trinity Sunday,” is celebrated one week after Pentecost. This feast was made universal in 1911. Prior to 1911, there were private devotions, certain liturgical prayers and prefaces, and hymns in the liturgy.There was an Office of the Holy Trinity written by Bishop Stephen of Liege in the 10th Century, but there was not a universal feast of the entire Church until Pope John XXII instituted one as a second-class feast in the 14th Century. In 1911, Pope St. Pius X elevated the feast to first-class.After the first Pentecost, the doctrine of the Trinity was given to the entire world through the ministry of the Apostles, led by the Holy Spirit. And so, Trinity Sunday, rightly follows Pentecost Sunday in the Church calendar.
