The Trinity is the Christian belief that God exists as three distinct persons—the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit—while remaining one God. These three are understood as co-equal and eternal, working together as a unified divine being. This concept is central to most Christian denominations, though different traditions interpret and explain it in various ways.
