I really hate using physical or mechanical illustrations to explain spiritual things, especially when it comes to God and the Trinity, but I'm going to put this one up anyway. It's limitations and flaws are obvious, but it does illustrate (I used this term advisedly) what the orthodox understanding/view of the Trinity.

The "Shield of the Trinity" was supposedly in use since the 13th century, probably as a tutorial prop used by Christian teachers and apologists, I would think as something of use when teaching people of limited vocabulary or biblical understanding.

and NO, I am not calling this the one illustration from the one illustrator of the age
