In Christian doctrine, trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead. Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament. The Trinity symbol existed earlier than Christianity and was likely a Celtic symbol of the triple Goddess, and in the North, a symbol of the god Odin. Triplicities were common symbols in Celtic myth and legend, one of the possible reasons Christian beliefs were so easily adopted by the Celtic people.

In Wiccan and Neopagan belief, the trinity symbolizes the triple aspected goddess (maid, mother, and crone). The trinity is also believed to symbolize the triplicities of mind, body, and soul, as well as the three domains of earth- earth, sea, and sky.
