The coming of the Holy Spirit refers to the event described in the Christian tradition when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles of Jesus after his crucifixion and resurrection, as described in the New Testament book of Acts. This event is often seen as the birth of the Christian church and is celebrated annually on the feast of Pentecost.
