holy spirit
Sacred invisible presence
A holy spirit is any sacred or divine spiritual being in religious contexts.
The phrase with lowercase letters refers generically to spirits considered sacred across various belief systems, rather than to a specific entity: Many traditions speak of a holy spirit that guides the faithful. (Capitalized Holy Spirit is the third person of the Christian Trinity.)
