RESOURCE OF THE MONTH
Easter is that special time of the year we celebrate Christ’s conquering of sin, death, and his rising from the grave victoriously. Jesus commanded his disciples to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4–5). The Church celebrates the Festival of Pentecost as the fulfillment and conclusion of the Easter season.
The observance of Pentecost does not come with decorations, gifts, or flowers as does Christmas and Easter. However, it is one of the most important festivals of the church year. Learn why we celebrate Pentecost and how it is a blessing to you.
[Jesus said,] “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
(Acts 1:8)
