I'm three, yet each part's the same; in the end I'm only one.

I surround & protect all life on Earth, even those who still worship the Sun.

In the heavens I am holy, I'm sure you've heard of the notion,

So the people of my beginning have to use quite a lot of lotion.




Maia-who am I?

          To prevent sunburn, people apply sun-tan lotion, particularly those from Oz(one), i.e. Australia. (Thanks to @osdavison for the Australian connection)

            That was quick! The answer is correct, of course, but it seems that my wordplay clues have gone unnoticed; maybe try to find those as well? (There's also an obscure reference to an ancient viral internet video from the days of yore, but that's not really something I'd expect anyone to solve) :-)

          Jewish men practice circumcision as a part of their religion, which results in decreased lubrication to the penis, and thus requires the use of lubricating lotions during certain activities.

            Ah, that's quite a clever way of explaining the lotion bit! I thought the fourth line would be different enough to tell that the apparent style of the first three lines is a ruse, but after seeing this answer, it clearly isn't. Glad I added the obscure internet reference to the question line, and the obvious contradiction with this guy's top rule to the end of the second verse, otherwise I'd have no chance but to accept this answer as well. +1 to you!

          • "the obvious contradiction with this guy's top rule to the end of the second verse," I mentioned omni-benevolence for a reason. ;)

            Ah, that's quite a clever way of explaining the lotion bit! I thought the fourth line would be different enough to tell that the apparent style of the first three lines is a ruse, but after seeing this answer, it clearly isn't. Glad I added the obscure internet reference to the question line, and the obvious contradiction with this guy's top rule to the end of the second verse, otherwise I'd have no chance but to accept this answer as well. +1 to you!
