Initial B with the Trinity This initial once marked the beginning of the chant 'Benedicta sit sancta Trinitas ...' (Blessed be the Holy Trinity), which was sung during the celebrations for Trinity Sunday. Here, the Trinity is represented by the figures of God the Father, the Dove of the Holy Spirit, and Christ with the wounds he suffered at death visible on his body. This cutting can be dated to ca. 1480. This image shows the reverse of a cutting from a choir book with an illuminated initial.
