WHAT IS PENTECOST?

The Holy Spirit emboldened the apostles to spread the Good News, the Gospel to

all nations. From the sound of rushing wind and tongues of fire, the disciples

were able to speak in all the languages of the known world. Everyone heard the good news in their own language and

dialect. By the end of the day, thousands of people had been baptized..

WHAT IS PENTECOST?

Pentecost is one of the most ancient feasts of the Church. It was mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (20:16) and

Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians (16:8). It marks the descent

of the Holy Spirit on the apostles. For that reason, it is often called “the

birthday of the Church.”
