🔥 Pentecost – The birthday of the Church
Pentecost is one of the oldest and most important festivals in the church year—celebrated 50 days after Easter , it marks the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. This event is considered the birth of the Church : a frightened group of disciples grew into a courageous community that spread the gospel throughout the world.
Pentecost reminds us that the Holy Spirit is still at work today—as comforter, support, and a source of strength in everyday life. In many regions, Pentecost is celebrated with processions, pilgrimages, and the festive decoration of churches and altars.
Pentecost depictions are particularly popular in Christian art – with tongues of fire, doves and open hands as symbols of reception.
