The day of Pentecost

Pentecost was a Jewish day of celebration called The Feast of Weeks. It was one of three annual festivals and was celebrated in Jerusalem, 50 days after the Paschal Feast.

The Day of Pentecost was a great day for the church to be established. There were Jews from all over the world in Jerusalem to take part in this important festival.
"'Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans and Arabs– we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!' Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, 'What does this mean?'”
(Acts 2:9-11)
