The article discusses the significance of calendar holidays in establishing ethnic identity among the Mordva, taking the example of Trinity celebration rites as a case study. Various forms of conducting the celebration in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries are examined. Based on extensive field and survey materials, the author highlights structural elements that have become significant as distinctive ethnic symbols that help bring people together and strengthen national self-awareness
