The Paschal Trikirion (Greek: Τρικιριον; Slavonic: Троіца, Troitsa) is a liturgical triple-candlestick used at Pascha (Easter) in the Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which use the Byzantine Rite. Another form, more commonly seen in the Slavic churches, has the three candleholders attached to a large blessing crucifix with a vertical handle. This form cannot stand upright while the candles are lit. The candles may be white or each candle may be a different colour (red, green, blue). The Paschal trikirion is often decorated with fresh flowers attached to the candleholder.
