What is Pentecost?
Pentecost is the Christian festival celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ after his Ascension, held on the 50th day after Easter Sunday. This event represents the birth of the early church. In many Christian churches it is celebrated to recognize the gift of the Holy Spirit, realizing that God's very life, breath, and energy live in believers.
The colour RED is worn at Pentecost, recalling the fiery tongues that descended upon the Apostles when they received the Holy Spirit.
