Pentecost, known also as Whitsunday, is the fiftieth day of Easter that brings the season to a close. It is a celebration to mark the moment when the disciples began more fully to see that the power of the risen life of Jesus had indeed been given to them to share. They were the witnesses of the risen Christ. They were to be the hands and feet of God's love in the world. They were to be the light of his grace to all they encountered. The work of God to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth by the ministry of the disciples was matched by the outpouring of God's Spirit, so our celebration of Pentecost is full of heavenly fire.
