Great explanation with good details! Good analogy, too!

Submit a paragraph that explains the Christian idea of the Trinity. Explain all three elements of the Trinity as well as how each relates to the others. Also, provide an analogy for the Trinity.
Christian believe that the Trinity is the divine power of God expressed through three entities, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity describes God as three in one, each with their own function or purpose. God the Father is the creator and everything in existence depends on Him. God the Son is fully divine and fully human. He was the one sent to earth to serve as a sacrifice for humankind for their salvation. God the Holy Spirit represents the spirit of God acting in the world and allows man to feel and interact with God. According to the Nicene Creed God the Father has always been, God the Son came from God but was not made. God the Holy Spirit came from God the Father according to the Eastern Church and from God the Father and Son according to the Eastern Church.
My imperfect analogy comes from the Apple Plus show Foundation, based on the Foundation books by Isaac Asimov. In the show there are three leaders of the Galactic Empire. There is Brother Dusk, Brother Day, and Brother Dawn. They are all clones of the original leader Cleon. Each Brother is genetically the same but they all serve different roles amongst each other and for their empire. Like the Trinity they are all the same but with different duties and characteristics of the same being.
