The Gift of Pentecost: Meditations on the Holy Ghost



The Gift of Pentecost is not a work of fiction with a single storyline, but rather refers to a fundamental event in the history of Christianity described in the Bible, specifically in Acts chapter 2. Here is a synopsis of the event based on the biblical account: After Jesus Christ was crucified, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, his disciples and followers (about 120 people, including the Apostles and Mary) gathered in a room in Jerusalem, celebrating the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (Pentecost, meaning 'fiftieth', celebrated 50 days after Passover). They were waiting for the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. Suddenly, a sound like a rushing mighty wind filled the room. Then, tongues like fire appeared, divided, and they sat on the heads of those gathered there. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages ​​they had never learned before, as the Spirit gave them the ability.
