Holy Trinity

Three-in-one divinity

The Holy Trinity is the central Christian doctrine that God exists as three persons in one being: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

These three are distinct yet share one divine essence—a concept that has generated centuries of theological debate and is rejected by some Christian denominations and other monotheistic faiths.

Churches and institutions named Holy Trinity are common throughout the Christian world. (Lowercase holy trinity refers to any essential threesome.)
