One of the 12 great feasts in the eastern Orthodox calendar, Trinity (celebrated jointly with Pentecost) is a syncretic feast in Belarus, incorporating rites with pre-Christian roots. These syncretic rites include spreading reeds, as symbols of fertility and the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit, on the floor of the church and in the home; and attaching birch or maple branches to the portico and walls of the church.
