Krntccosi Sunday, May 18th, was honored by The Holy Rosary Catholic
Church located at 375 N E Clackamas Street. Rev Edmund Ryan, f ) P , pastor
Pentocosl is said Io he an important Springtime Jewish and Christian least " It's
name comes from the (»reck work for fifty because Pentecosi occurred on the
fiftieth day after the first day o f Passover.”
As early as the 200"» A D . Christians have observed Pentecost on the seventh
day after Easter, recognizing it to he one o f their "greatest" feasts It commemo
rated the descent o f the Holy Spirit upon the apostles on this day A cts2 1-4 "A n d
when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one
place And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it Idled all the house where they were sitting And there appeared unto them
cloven tongues like as o f fire, and it sat upon each o f them And they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave
them utterance
“ He (the Holy Ghost, had heen promised by Jesus as another Com forter"
(John 14 lb And I (Jesus, w ill pray the father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;, and came Io strengthen the
apostles alter their nine days of prayer following the ascension of Jesus into
heaven they then showed themselves more courageous and zealous than they had
heen before
Pentecost was later called whitsunday, or White Sunday , because the newly
baptized wore their white baptismal robes on that day. marking the end of the
joyous Easter season
During mass on Pentecost in the catholic churches red robes arc worn to
symbolize the speaking in tongues (described in the htiok o f Acts, in the above
scripture I quoted from the King James Bible.) as lire representing "T h e Holy
S p irit"
The novena prayers arc (he nine days that the apostles along with Jesus' mother
Mary aixl the other believing women prayed for the descent ol the holy spirit This
day or days arc also still observed by many churches Holy Rosary Church w ill
hold its " fa m ily Consecration Novena from May 29th, a Thursday June bth
Pastor Ryan said, "W e pray on today that the spirit w ill inkindle in us devine
lo ve ".
This week's up date with food for thought. "A n d when the day of Pentecost was
fully come, they were all with one accord in one place "
A ll information on Pentecost was taken from various sources, mainly from
Multnomah County l ibrary, “ A Short History of the Catholic C hurch" and
Brother Joe Vigil of Holy Rosary Church
