* Pentecost

May 23, 2021

Pentecost, celebrated fifty days after Easter, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and Mary in the upper room in Jerusalem, as described in Acts 2. This event marks the birth of the Christian Church, empowering the apostles to preach the Gospel in various languages and spread Christianity worldwide. Pentecost is often called the “birthday of the Church.” It highlights the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, who inspires and strengthens believers in their faith and mission. The feast is celebrated with vibrant liturgies, often featuring readings, hymns, and prayers invoking the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

(*) denotes that the Pentecost is a moveable observance date. This date determined based on Easter Sunday, a moveable feast based on the lunar and solar cycles of the Jewish calendar.
