holy holy holy
Thrice-repeated sanctity
Holy holy holy is a phrase of intensified reverence, primarily from Christian worship.
The threefold repetition appears in Isaiah's vision of angels praising God and in the Book of Revelation.
It became the opening of a famous 19th-century hymn: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
The tripling emphasizes absolute sanctity—holiness raised to its highest degree.
