Pentecost in Days to go: The Observance of Pentecost is a Christian holiday that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. Pentecost holds a unique relevance for millions of citizens, as the EU traces its roots to the Christian values and principles promoted by its founding fathers. This celebration serves as a reminder of the diverse cultural heritage that has shaped the region. The history of Pentecost dates back to the Jewish tradition of celebrating Shavuot, which also commemorated the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It was during this celebration that the biblical event of the Holy Spirit's descent took place, as recorded in the book of Acts. This event came to be venerated as the birth of the Church, symbolizing the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and marking the beginnings of a new spiritual community. Pentecost is celebrated on the 50th day after Easter. Pentecost falls on a Sunday, making it a movable feast that varies in date each year. This day offers an opportunity for reflection and appreciation of the shared spiritual heritage that binds the European Union together. Top X Posts (formerly Tweets) for Pentecost -
