Happy Pentecost Cal3b (npub1v9v…tqnj) and to all my fellow believers in the Messiah, and to those who do not (yet) believe!
If you know the story (see the Book of the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2), then you know that this is the appropriate emoji: 🔥
Traditionally, Pentecost also has a connection to when God's people Israel left Egypt and received the covenant at Mt. Sinai. I'm not Catholic, but this is a great explanation:

I appreciate that the Catholic and Orthodox churches (although there is really only one Church) pay more attention to things like this (I mean Church traditions) than most Evangelical churches do anymore. If you don't believe me, just see if your Protestant church even mentions that it is Pentecost today at church.
However, since the Orthodox Easter only just took place 2 weeks ago, their Pentecost will take place on June 23, 2024. This raises the question of which churches are celebrating Pentecost on the correct day? (not that it is so important a matter that we should divide over it.) I do wish we could settle on which date is correct, if either one, since the 2000th birthday of the Church is coming up in just a few years, in A.D. 2033 (if we have correctly dated the year of our Lord's death and resurrection).
Happy birthday, Church!

quoting nevent1q…n5frToday is Pentecost 🔥🔥
Though the modern Church can seem so divided at times, let’s all remember the amazing gift of the Holy Spirit the Father sent, as Jesus promised, to bring the divided nations back to Himself! note17k8…lp3q
