holy trinities

Divine threefold groupings

Holy trinities are sets of three things considered essential or foundational to something.

The term borrows from Christian theology, where the Holy Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

In casual use, it describes any trio of elements viewed as inseparable or sacred within a domain: the holy trinity of Cajun cooking—onions, celery, and bell pepper, the holy trinity of rock: sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
