She sees that somehow, laid out over all time, and therefore in successive events, one occuring after the other, one event giving rise to another, one anticipation being met by its fulfillment, Creation followed by the Fall, the Fall followed by the Incarnation and the Cross, the resurrection meetings its fulfillment in the coming of the Spirit and in the life of the Church - in these events, stretched in sequences across time, are to be found a historical map of the Trinitarian life itself, of the Trinity's very constitution as God. For salvation history is ... the Trinity observed in the only way human beings can observe it - in time, in succession, in history.
From Denys Turner's excellent
Julian of Norwich, Theologian - summarising Julian's Trinitarian theology and also providing a description of why immediately following the end of the Paschal Season the Church celebrates the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity.
