HOLY PENTECOST
Tone 8
Come, O peoples, let us wor-ship the Godhead in three persons: the Son in the Father with the Holy Spirit!
For the Father timelessly be-got the Son, co-eternal and co-enthroned with Him; and the Holy Spirit was in the Father and is glorified with the Son.
We worship one Power, one Essence, one Godhead, and we say:
“Holy God, You created all things through Your Son with the co-operation of the Holy Spirit.
Holy Mighty, through You we know the Father; through You the Holy Spirit came to dwell in the world.
Holy Immortal, Comforting Spirit, You proceed from the Father and rest in the Son.
O Holy Trinity, glory to You!”
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Trinity Week - Day of the Holy SpiritCommemorated on May 28
On the day after every Great Feast, the Orthodox Church honors the one through whom the Feast is made possible. On the day following the Nativity of the Lord, for example, we celebrate the Synaxis of the Most Holy Theotokos (December 26). On the day af-ter Theophany, we commemorate St John the Baptist (January 7), and so on.
Today we honor the all-Holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, Who descended upon the Apostles at Pentecost in the form of fiery tongues in fulfillment of the Lord's promise to send the Comforter to His disciples (JN 14:16). That same Holy Spirit remains within the Church throughout the ages, guiding it "into all truth" (JN 16:13).
One of the hymns at Vespers on Saturday evening tells us that the Holy Spirit "provides all things. He gushes forth prophecy, He perfects the priesthood, ... He holds together the whole institution of the Church."
At Vespers on the day of Pentecost, we hear that the Holy Spirit is "the Fountain of goodness, through
Whom the Father is known, and the Son is glorified." He is "the living Fountain of spiritual gifts" Who "pu-rifies us from our sins." It is by the Holy Spirit that "the prophets, divine Apostles, and martyrs are crowned." He is the source of life and of sanctifica-tion.
In the services of this day, we sing the same hymns as on Pentecost, except the Canon of the Holy Spirit, which is sung at Compline. The Vigil is not pre-scribed for the eve of today's feast. We sing the Great Doxology at Matins, but not the Polyeleos. The Irmos of the Ninth Ode ("Hail, O Queen, glory of mothers and virgins…") is sung in place of the Song of the Theotokos ("My soul magnifies the Lord...").
At the Liturgy, the priest or deacon chants the En-trance Verse ("Be exalted in Thy strength, O Lord. We will sing and praise Thy power.") as on the day of Pen-tecost. "Holy God" replaces "As many as have been baptized…." The dismissal of Pentecost is also used.
This whole week is fast-free, and the Leave-taking of Pentecost occurs on Saturday.

While only Orthodox Christians may approach the chalice for Holy Communion, everyone is welcome to partake of the Holy Bread after Liturgy.

“For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.
“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
“Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel 36:24-28
