| Religion and belief | Trinity means that there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct Persons before the time – the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The doctrine of Trinity stems from analyses of various contexts in the Bible and the revision in the 4th Century. In the old time, it was prohibited to make images of the Father. Thus, most of Trinity images were made in the new era. |
