Pentecost, celebrated 50 days after Easter, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and other disciples of Jesus following His ascension.
On Sunday May 19th, 2024, the MCCA will join other Christians worldwide in celebrating the birth of the Church.
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
Acts 2 1- 4 (NRSV)
