PENTECOST DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Christian Icon
Pentecost is one of the prominent feasts in the Christian
liturgical year commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the
disciples of Christ.The feast is also called Whitsun,
Whitsunday, Whit Sunday, or Whitsuntide, especially in the United
Kingdom. Pentecost is celebrated seven weeks (50 days) after Easter
Sunday, hence its name. Pentecost falls on the tenth day after Ascension
Thursday.
Pentecost
is historically and symbolically related to the Jewish harvest festival
of Shavuot, which commemorates God giving the Ten Commandments at Mount
Sinai fifty days after the Exodus. Among Christians, Pentecost
commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other
followers of Jesus as described in the New Testament Acts of the
Apostles, Chapter 2 during these Jewish "fiftieth day" celebrations in
Jerusalem. For this reason, Pentecost is sometimes described as the
"Birthday of the Church".
