PENTECOST

PENTECOST

On Pentecost we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, which is the very presence of God within and among us. The story of Pentecost appears in Acts 2 as the disciples were gathered for the Jewish festival of Pentecost, 50 days after Passover. The Holy Spirit came among them, and “They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them” (Acts 2:3).
