Hello everybody,
Today is the Christin High Holy Day of Pentecost which is celebrated on the 50th day from Easter Sunday and ten days after The Ascension.
It's called "Whit Sunday" or "WhitSunday" in UK and it commemorates the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the disciples of Jesus Christ, according to the New Testament of the Bible.
The day after "Whit Sunday" is called "Whit Monday" and it's a public holiday in some countries.
This is "Pentecostés" by El Greco.
Do you know the meaning of the tongues of fire above each Apostle?
