Pentecost

12:00 am

Pentecost, also known as Whitsunday, is a Christian observance that takes place fifty days after Easter. It has its origins in the Judaism tradition of the Festival of Weeks and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit onto Jesus's Apostles after his Ascension. Red is used at Pentecost to commemorate the Holy Spirit's coming with fire to the apostles and for the commemoration of martyrs and other saints.
