Pentecost

Pentecost is a Christian holiday commemorating the event when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and early followers of Jesus, enabling them to speak in different languages. This occurred fifty days after Easter and marked the beginning of the church’s global mission. Often called the "birthday of the church," Pentecost celebrates the promptings of the Holy Spirit that empowered believers to spread Christianity. It is observed with prayer, readings from the Bible, and often, vibrant church gatherings, emphasizing themes of renewal, empowerment, and the universal reach of faith.
