Pentecost is a Christian celebration that commemorates the day when the Holy Spirit descended
upon the followers of Jesus. And "tongues as of fire" came to rest on each of them. - Acts 2:3
The apostles began speaking in various languages, proclaiming the gospel to Jews
of every
nation, who had gathered in Jerusalem for the feast.
This miraculous event marked the beginning of the apostles’ public ministry, and thus the
beginning of the Church's "making disciples of all nations" as Jesus had commissioned. - Matthew 28:18-20
