The Sabbath:
The beneficent Creator, after the six days of Creation, rested on the seventh day and instituted the Sabbath for all people as a memorial of Creation. The fourth commandment of God's unchangeable law requires the observance of this seventh-day Sabbath as the day of rest, worship, and ministry in harmony with the teaching and practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God and one another. It is a symbol of our redemption in Christ, a sign of our sanctification, a token of our allegiance, and a foretaste of our eternal future in God's kingdom. The Sabbath is God's perpetual sign of His eternal covenant between Him and His people. Joyful observance of this holy time from evening to evening, sunset to sunset, is a celebration of God's creative and redemptive acts. (Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Luke 4:16; Isa. 56:5, 6; 58:13, 14; Matt. 12:1-12; Ex. 31:13-17; Eze. 20:12, 20; Deut. 5:12-15; Heb. 4:1-11; Lev. 23:32; Mark 1:32.)
The Trinity:
There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons. God is immortal, all-powerful, all-knowing, above all, and ever present. He is infinite and beyond human comprehension, yet known through His self-revelation. He is forever worthy of worship, adoration, and service by the whole creation. (Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 14:7.)

The sabbath is known as the Lord's Day. It is a special day that God Himself commanded us to observe and respect. It is a day of worship and rest. Traditionally, the sabbath is observed on Sunday, which is when most Christians go to church. One of the ten commandments specifically says, "Keep the Sabbath day," (or something like that).
The Trinity is a term referring to God in the form of three divine persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is also traditional Christian teaching since the beginning of Christianity. There are some that don't believe in the Trinity because they say the word "trinity" isn't in the bible. However the concept is, and has been taught throughout Christianity since it began 2,000 years ago.

The Sabbath is a day of rest. God established the Sabbath and made it holy and as a part of the ten commandments. The Sabbath is the seventh day, which in the Jewish calendar is Saturday. Christians observe the Sabbath on Sunday because that is the day of the resurrection. the Trinity is the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is commonly referred to as God. The Trinity is three persons who act as one, meaning that they always agree as one person. They do not disagree and fight one another like we humans do. To be God-like is to get along peacefully with all men and women, as do the members of the Trinity with each other. Jesus loves you.

The sabbath is a day set aside to spend in worshiping God. Most people keep Sunday as their sabbath day, some keep Saturday as theirs.
In Genesis chapter 1, God started the sabbath. After the six days of creation He rested on the seventh (Saturday) and set it aside so that man may rest from his work and spend time with God.
There are two thoughts on trinity.
1) God is one person (figure of speech) with three offices, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
2) The Trinity is three persons in one accord, God the Father, Jesus His Son and the Holy Ghost is God's Spirit.
So far I have not heard God's spirit say (through someone) that He only will accept a person if they believe in #1 or #2. Just follow Jesus and grow in love with Him.

The sabbath is the last day of the Jewish(traditional, Old Testament Jews and many orthodox Jews today) week, lasting from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday. It was set apart as a time for rest in the ten commandments (Exodus 20) as commemorative of the day that God rested from creating the universe (Genesis 1).
The Trinity is a term that is not found in the Bible itself, but is used to describe God. The traditional way of stating it is that there in one God but three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each person is not the other two persons but is also fully God. That is to say that the persons are not each 1/3 of God or anything like that. There is mystery to this idea and finite creatures such as ourselves can only partially comprehend this idea.

The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week among the Hebrews, the day being counted from sunset to sunset, that is, from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion -- the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.
Hope this helps!

Almost every religion has a day of rest & worship. That is the sabbath.
Trinity is the three-fold representation of the spiritual basis of religion. Christians use The Father, The Son & The Holy Ghost. Witches use The Maid, The Maiden & The Mother. I'm sure others have their own trinity, but I'm not familiar enough to cite them here.

the sabbath is the Jewish holy day - Saturday. When Christianity split from Judaism they changed the holy day to Sunday (not sure exactly when this happened though).
The Holy Trinity, in Christianity, is their way around the "Thou shall have no Gods beside me" commandment. This says that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all one and the same so worshiping one is worshiping the others.

Sabbath is a commandment from GOD which what we have to do in his command. Sabbath is when you work 6 days of the week and the seventh day is when you rest because that is how GOD did when he created the earth he worked for 6 days and then the seventh day he rested but for us the seventh day we rest and give glory to our GOD because that is GOD'S day we have to be focused on GOD on the sabbath day..
And about the trinity I can't answer you that one but I hope I answered part of your question.

The sabbath was, basically, Saturday, the last day of the week which was to be kept holy under Jewish law. Under Christ's new covenant we keep holy The Lord's Day, which is Sunday.
The Trinity are the three persons in one God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
