Sunday Readings and Backgrounds

Pentecost Sunday

Reading I : Acts 2:1-11

All were filled with the Holy Spirit.

  • In the Acts of the Apostles, the story of Pentecost occurs on the fiftieth day after Passover, the day after seven Sabbaths.
  • The strong wind recalls the might wind that swept over the waters at creation and the breath of life that God blew into the human being.
  • The tongues of fire at Pentecost symbolize a new call and a new covenant.
