The coming of the holy spirit

The Christian holiday Pentecost
is
celebrated fifty days after Easter Day,
counting inclusively (including both the first
and last days), i.e. seven weeks after Easter
Day.[1][2] It falls on the tenth day after
Ascension Thursday (which itself is 40 days
after Easter).
The Pentecost is based on the New
Testament, where it refers to the occasion of
the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the
Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ,
as described in the Acts of the Apostles 2:1–
31 . According to Luke 22:12–13, the
Descent of the Holy Spirit took place while
the Apostles were celebrating the Jewish day
of the
Feast of Weeks, a prominent feast in the
calendar of ancient Israel celebrating the
giving of the Law to Moses at Sinai.
Subsequently, the term Pentecost may refer
to the Pentecost of the New Testament and
Shavuot of the Old Testament. The Shavuot
of the Old Testament is a significant event
shared by Jewish and Christian traditions but
is not commonly celebrated as a separate
holiday by Christians.
In the Christian liturgical year it became a
feast commemorating what is described by
some Christians as the "Birthday of the
Church".[3] The Pentecostal movement of
Christianity emphasizes direct personal
experience with God, akin to the Descent of
the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles.
The feast is also called White Sunday, or
"Whitsunday", especially in the United
Kingdom, where traditionally the next day,
Whit Monday, was also a public holiday. In
Eastern Christianity, Pentecost can also refer
to the entire fifty days between Easter and
Pentecost, hence the book containing the
liturgical texts for Paschaltide is called the
Pentecostarion.
In Germany Pentecost is referred to as
Pfingsten and often coincides with school
holidays and the beginning of many outdoor
and spring related activities such as festivals
and organized outdoor activities by youth
organizations. The Monday of the Pentecost
is a legal holiday in many European
countries.
Today in caltholic church the paschal candel will be remove from the alter and it will appear again at altar when there is a burial mass and baptism.

Thanks . Happy Sunday
