Sunday, May 24: PENTECOST SUNDAY
Wear RED!
Pentecost commemorates the coming of the Holy Spirit on Jesus’s disciples. This happened just after his Ascension at the Feast of Pentecost. The event is recorded in the first two chapters of the Acts of the Apostles, which was written by Luke. It is not absolutely sure which year this happened, but most scholars these days think it was AD 33. Others think it was AD 28, 29 or 30. Pentecost occurs 50 Sundays after EASTER.
