PENTECOST 2016

A Very Special CELEBRATION of the

Feast of Holy Pentecost

JUNE 19, 2016

The Feast of Holy Pentecost is celebrated each year on the fiftieth day after the Great and Holy Feast of Pascha (Easter) and ten days after the Feast of the Ascension of Christ. The Feast is always celebrated on a Sunday.

The Feast commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles on the day of Pentecost, a feast of the Jewish tradition. It also celebrates the establishment of the Church through the preaching of the Apostles and the baptism of the thousands who on that day believed in the Gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Feast is also seen as the culmination of the revelation of the Holy Trinity.

As we celebrated the Great Feast of Holy Pentecost  at St. George Orthodox Church, we had a blessed parish celebration with a full church, almost everyone wearing green (to symbolize new life), a beautiful Vespers Service with the Kneeling Prayers (as this was the first time since Pascha that we kneel in church), followed by our Annual Parish Potluck Ethnic Luncheon where we enjoyed delicious foods from the various ethnicities of our parishioners. The key highlight of this luncheon is the praying of The Our Father in the various languages of our parishioners were we together as one voice say The Our Father in the many languages of our Parish!  This year we had 9 languages: English, Russian, Greek, Albanian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Spanish, Urdu, and Tigrinya (Eritrean).  Please enjoy the video of our parish celebrating Holy Pentecost with one voice in many languages!!
