Those of the Christian persuasion have linked their belief in a Trinity to Three day and are arranging a prayer for peace (also called 'God's Day') at 3 in the afternoon for thirty minutes, or three minutes, or all day, with fasting as an option. The pedantics will strive for 3 in the morning.(thanks wrinkly)
