The
symbol of the trinity representing the father, son and the holy ghost or holy
spirit is a part of Christian doctrine that defines God as three divine
persons. They exist as equals.
According to this doctrine, God exists as three persons
but is still one God, meaning that God the Son and God the Holy Spirit have
exactly the same nature or being as God the Father in every way. Whatever
attributes and power God the Father has, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit
have as well. God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are also omnipresent,
omnipotent, omniscient, infinitely holy, infinitely loving, infinitely wise and
eternal.
Three days and three nights from
crucifixion to resurrection; three Marys at the tomb of Jesus; on the third day
he arose—all figure prominently in the story of the Resurrection.
