Pentecost Sunday

“I have much more to tell you,
but you cannot bear it now.
When he comes, however,
being the Spirit of truth
he will guide you to all truth.
He will not speak on his own,
but will speak only what he hears,
and will announce to you the things
to come.”

John 16:12-13

Pentecost (Ancient Greek: Pentekoste, “the Fiftieth [day] “) is a prominent feast in the Christian liturgical year commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the remaining eleven Apostles of Christ (Judas had hanged himself), included in the 12 Disciples in the Upper Room, after the Resurrection of Jesus. The feast is also called Whit Sunday, Whitsun, or Whit, especially in England. Pentecost is celebrated seven weeks (50 days) after Easter Sunday, hence its name.
