PENTECOST 2020 SUNDAY 31 MAY
The Christian holiday of Pentecost,
which is celebrated the 49th day (the seventh sunday) after Easter Sunday,
commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit
upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ
while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks,
as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2: 1-31) .
Pentecost is one of the Great Feasts of the Eastern Orthodox Church,
a Solemnity in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church,
a Festival in the Lutheran Churches,
and a Principal Feast in the Anglican Communion.
Many Christian denominations provide
a special liturgy for this holy celebration.
Poet's Note:
The Monday after Pentecost
is a legal holiday in many European countries
