Trinity

Three-in-one godhead

Trinity literally means three, but most uses of the word, which is especially common in the names of churches, refer to the concept in Christianity that God, his son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are three distinct things that also constitute a unity.

This is properly called the Holy Trinity, but when Trinity is capitalized, this is the reference.

Some things may be characterized as an unholy trinity if there are three parts and the overall effect is bad.
