PENTECOST SUNDAY is also referred to AS SUNDAY OF THE HOLY TRINITY orSUNDAY OF THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, and is one of the Great

Feasts of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which is celebrated 50

DAYS AFTER HOLY PASC HAand therefore always falls on a Sunday.Fifty days after the Resurrection of

our Lord and Saviour, Jesus

Christ, on the Jewish Feast ofPentecost, while the Disciples

and the Apostles, as well asmany other followers of Christwere gathered together to

pray, God the Holy Spiritdescended upon them in the

form of ...cloven tongues of

Fire... with the sound of aMighty Rushing Wind, and theyall began to speak in different

languages that were foreign tothem.

Many Hebrews had gathered from

all over the known world inJerusalem at that time to

celebrate the Great Feast of Pentecost, and, having been drawnto where the Apostles and Disciples of Christ had gathered, theywere astonished to hear the illiterate Fishermen and the other

Disciples of Christ praising Almighty God in all the differentlanguages of the world so that EACH NATIONALITY WAS CLEARLY ABLE TO

UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD THEY SPOKE.

This amazing Event was written in detail by St Luke in his Book of theAct s o f t he A pos tle s, C hap ter 2.

The number 50 as in the 50 th day after Holy Pascha symbolisesEternal, Heavenly Fulfilment i.e. seven times seven, plus one.

The Eastern Orthodox Church regards Pentecost as THE FINALFULFILLMENT OF THE DIVINE MISSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST - and the

beginning of the Messianic Age of the Kingdom of God, which is

Mystically Present in His Church. (In fact, the Messianic Age beganmuch earlier with the conception and birth of our Lady Theotokos

the Mother of God Incarnate.)

PENTECOST SUNDAY WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE ONE , HOL Y, CATH OL IC AN DAPOSTOLIC CHURCH OF CHRIST.

Besides celebrating the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Feast of

Pentecost also celebrates THE FULL REVELATION OF THE HOLY TRINITY GOD THE FAT HE R, GOD THE SON ,AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The Hymns celebrate the Sign of THE FINALACT OFALMIGHTY GOD S SELF -

DISCLOSURE TO THE WORLD OF H IS CREATION AND THE DIVINE REVELATION OFTHE PURPOSE OF HIS DIVINE PLA N.

To Orthodox Christians, the Feast of Pentecost is not just a

celebration of an Event in history. It is also A CEL EBR ATI ON OU RMEMBERSHIP IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST, for we have lived Pentecost

and we have received "...the Seal of the Gift of the Holy

Spirit..." during the Holy Mystery of Baptism and Chrismation.For the Feast of Pentecost the Icon of the Holy Trinity, the three

Ang elic Beings who appe ared to Ab raham, is placed in thecentre of the Soleas for veneration, and is presented togetherwith the traditional Pentecost Icon.

The church is decorated with flowers and green leaves to show that

GOD 'S DIVINE BREATH COMES TO RENEW ALL CREATION. Green Vestmentsand coverings are also used.

In many Parishes the Feast is celebrated the evening before with theHoly Service of Great Vespers, followed by Matins and Divine

Liturgy on Pentecost Sunday Morning.The Liturgy of St John Chrysostom has Festal Hymns that replace the

standard verses of the Antiphons.

The Hymns O Heavenly King...and We have seen the True Light...are sung for the first time since Pascha, calling the Holy Spiritto "...come and abide in us," and proclaiming that "...we have

received the Heavenly Spirit."An ext rao rdin ary Ser vice cal led the Kneeling Vespers is observed

on the evenig of Pentecost - to which are added three sets of

long poetical Prayers, composed by St Basil the Great, duringwhich everyone makes a full Prostration, touching their foreheads

to the floor (Prostrations in Church having been forbidden from

the day of Great and Holy Pascha up to this point).In many Parishes, however, THE KNEELING VESPERS IS DONE IMMEDIATELY

AFT ER TH E D IVINE LITURGY OF PENTECOST.THE FEAST OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CELEBRATED ON MONDAY AFTER PENTECOST

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST IS THE FEAST OFALL SAIN TS .THE FAST OF TH E APOSTLES BEGINS ON MONDAY AFTER ALL SAI NT S SUNDAY AND

CONTINUES UNTIL 29 JUNE , the Feast of the Apostles, St Peter and StPaul.

The length of this Fast depends on the date of Holy Pascha.

Even though the start of the Liturgical Year begins on 1(or14)September, the Liturgical centre of the annual cycle of Orthodox

Worsh ip is the Grea t Fea st of Pascha, pre cede d by Great Lent

and Pre-Lent.These are followed by the fifty days of Pascha, which ends with the

Great Feast of Pentecost.

Until the start of the next Great Lent, THE SUNDAYS AND WEEKS FOLLOWINGPENTECOST,ARE NUMBERED FROM PENTECOST SUNDAY.

Liturgical Readings and Hymns are based on the weeks AfterPentecost" as listed in THE OCTOECHOS (the Eight Tones) THEAPOSTOLOS(the Epistles) and the Lectionary arranged HOLY GOSPEL.

Praise Him with the sound of thetrumpet; praise Him with lute andharp.

Today, all the Nations in the city ofDavid saw paradoxical things, whenthe Holy Spirit descended in FieryTongues, according to the utteranceof Luke the Theologian. For he saidthat when the Disciples of Christwere gathered together, a Sound likethe rush of a Mighty Wind was

heard, which filled the housewherein they were. And they all

began to speak strange words,strange Dogmas, strange Teachingsof the Holy Trinity.

Praise Him with timbrel and dance;praise Him with strings and flute.

The Holy Spirit forever was and is andwill be, never beginning, neverending, but forever ranked andnumbered with the Father and theSon. It is Life and Life-giving, Lightand Giver of Light; Goodness Itselfand the Source of Goodness;through Whom the Father is known

and the Son is Glorified, and by all isknown the One Power, One Order,One Worship of the Holy Trinity.

Praise Him with tuneful cymbals;praise Him with loud cymbals. Leteverything that has breath praisethe Lord.

The Holy Spirit is Light and Life, and aLiving Noetic Spring. Spirit ofWisdom, Spirit of Understanding;Good, Upright, Noetic, Ruling,purging offences; God and Deifying;He is Fire issuing from Fire, Uttering,Inciting, Distributing the Gifts of

Grace. Through Him the Prophetsand Apostles of God and the Martyrswere all crowned. Strange to hear,strange to behold: Fire distributedfor the apportioning of Gifts.

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve whowas called the Twin3was not with

The other Disciples therefore told him:We have seen the Lord!

So he said to them: Unless I see in HisHands the print of the nails, and putmy finger into the print of the nails,and put my hand into His Side, I willnot believe.

And after eight days His Disciples wereagain inside, and Thomas with them.

Jesus came, the doors being shut, andstood in the midst, and said: Peaceto you!

Then He said to Thomas: Reach yourfinger here, and look at My Hands;and reach your hand here, and putit into My Side, and do not beunbelieving, but believing.

And Thomas answered and said to Him:My Lord and my God!

Jesus said to him: Thomas, becauseyou have seen Me, you havebelieved. Blessed are those whohave not seen and yet havebelieved.

And truly Jesus did many other Signs inthe presence of His Disciples, whichare not written in this book.
