MEANING OF PENTECOST: “Pentecost” is from Greek meaning “fiftieth.” The name Pentecost was originally

given to the Jewish Feast of Weeks which fell on the fiftieth day after Passover, when the first fruits of the grain har-

vest were offered to the Lord (Leviticus 23:15-21 and Deuteronomy 16:9-11). Later, the Jews included in it the re-

membrance of God’s Covenants with Noah after the Deluge and with Moses at Mt. Sinai. For a Christian: ‘This So-

lemnity makes us remember and relive the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the other disciples gath-

ered in prayer with the Virgin Mary in the Upper Room (cf. Acts 2:1-11). Jesus, risen and ascended into Heaven,

sent his Spirit to the Church so that every Christian might participate in his own divine life and become his valid wit-

ness in the world. The Holy Spirit, breaking into history, defeats aridity, opens hearts to hope, stimulates and fosters

in us an interior maturity in our relationship with God and with our neighbour’. (Pope Benedict)
