Fifty days after Pascha and ten days after the feast of Ascension, we celebrate the feast of Holy Pentecost. The disciples gathered in Jerusalem, awaiting the coming of the Holy Spirit, who descended on them as flames of fire, thus beginning the work of the Christian Church. We have gathered some resources to help you prepare to celebrate the feast of Holy Pentecost with your family.
