The '''Paschal Trikiriontrikirion''', (Greek: Τρικιριον, Slavonic: Троіца, ''Troitsa''), is a three-candle holder used liturgically at [[Pascha]] in the [[Orthodox Church]] and [[Eastern Catholic Churches]] that use the [[Byzantine Rite]].
Unlike the [[Dikirion and Trikirion|trikirion]], that is only used by a [[bishop]], usually with a dikirion, the Paschal trikirion is used also by all [[priest]]s at the Paschal Vigil, throughout [[Bright Week]], and on the [[Apodosis]], leave-taking, of Pascha. The Paschal trikirion is carried in the left hand by the chief celebrant, whether a bishop or a priest, at all of the services. In particular it is use while chanting the Paschal verses at the beginning of [[Vespers]], [[Matins]] and [[Divine Liturgy]], while censing, during the [[Little Entrance]], or when giving the Paschal greeting.
