WHY CELEBRATE PENTECOST?
Before Pentecost was a Christian festival, it was a Jewish holiday. Pentecost was a harvest festival 50 days after the Passover. (Pente means 50 in Greek.) The crops were harvested and the people celebrated with great feasts.

Pentecost is a great day of celebration for Christians! Pentecost comes 50 days after Easter. But the date isn’t nearly as exciting as the events of the very first Pentecost. You can read that Bible story in Acts 2. As you do that together, list all the surprises that happened that day!

On Pentecost today, Christians celebrate the first coming of the Holy Spirit to the church. RED is the liturgical color for Pentecost.
