Greetings of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov with the Holy Trinity Day

Friends, I sincerely congratulate you with the Holy Trinity Day!

On the fiftieth day after the Resurrection of Christ, the Holy Spirit came down to the apostles and helped to realize the inseparable unity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

This holiday is the day of creation of the Church of Christ on earth. Apostles gained a gift of understanding and speaking different languages to be able to preach the teachings of Jesus Christ everywhere. Having additionally gained the capacity for prophecy and healing the sick, each of them began the apostleship, preaching the Word of God - the Gospel. In such a way Christianity started to spread worldwide.

This bright day reminds us how boundless and sublime is the Lord who is one in his nature but tripersonal at the same time. We were created by God after His image and likeness. Let us not forget about this as the understanding of the Creator's greatness, His Love and Light can change our lives!

Congratulations! May God bless Ukraine and every one of you!
