The Significance of Pentecost: A Beacon of Faith and Community

The Significance of Pentecost: A Beacon of Faith and Community

In the heart of the Christian liturgical year lies Pentecost, a day that commemorates a pivotal event in the history of Christianity – the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. Celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter Sunday, Pentecost marks the end of the Easter season and is often referred to as the “birthday of the Church.” This year, as communities worldwide prepare to observe this sacred day, we delve into its significance and the enduring importance of the Church in our lives. 05/15/2024 12:00 AM
