In the Jewish calendar, fifty days after the Passover was the festival of Pentecost (from the Greek “fifty”) - celebrating the first harvest of fields and gardens planted in the spring of the year. In the Christian calendar, Pentecost is the celebration of the Holy Spirit coming to Jesus’ disciples and filling them with courage, insight, the power to do miracles, and the entusiasm to go into the whole world and preach the Gospel to people everywhere. Today’s readings are about that first Pentecost, and our focus is on what that means for us in these days.
