Pfingsten

Pentecost is one of the oldest and most important Christian festivals. Its focus is on the Holy Spirit and the mission to gather believers in Christ.

Fifty days after Easter, the feast of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and ten days after the Ascension of Christ, the Church celebrates Pentecost. This marks the conclusion of the Easter season, which begins on Easter Sunday. The word Pentecost is derived from „pentekoste,“ the Greek word for „fifty.“ The focus of the feast is the sending of the Holy Spirit, who also sparks the founding of the Church as a community of all believers in Christ. The Bible understands the Holy Spirit as the creative power of all life. According to Church teaching, He was sent into the world to keep the person, word, and work of Jesus Christ alive.

Suddenly a sound like the passing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the entire house where they were. And there appeared to them tongues like fire, scattered, and one came to rest on each of them.
