Why do we celebrate Pentecost?

Originally, Pentecost was a Jewish tradition that celebrates the end of Easter.

The acts associated with Moses and the covenant he made at Mount Sinai were celebrated with a great harvest festival. She went to the temple in Jerusalem.

White Sunday is for Christians, the day we celebrate that the Holy Spirit came down on Jesus’ disciples, and filled them with the Spirit of God. The day is seen as the birthday of the church.

The Holy Spirit appeared like tongues of fire that appeared on the disciples, enabling them to speak in a way that everyone could understand them.

Regardless of their mother tongue, they were able to preach the Bible and tell the whole world about the risen Savior.

The Holy Spirit is often represented by a dove, especially in art. This symbolism has its origins in the Bible in, among other things, chapter 3 of the Gospel of Matthew.

Doves symbolize peace and the Spirit of God aims to unite people, and create faith and hope.

White Sunday falls after both Easter – when Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead – and Ascension Day, when he ascended to Heaven.

The word “Pentecost” comes from the Greek word pentekosté, which means “fiftieth”. Pentecost falls on the 50th day after Easter.

It is uncertain why the day is called so, but perhaps it is a reference to the fact that many were baptized on this day, and when people are traditionally dressed in white.

White Sunday is the last of the many Christian holidays in the spring. The church then marks one of the most important events in Christian history.

The day is not associated with any special customs, but Pentecost services are held throughout the country both today and tomorrow, Pentecost 2.
