How do Christians celebrate Pentecost?

Answer 1

Pentecost is seven weeks after Easter Sunday. The festival marks the gift of the holy spirit of Christ to his followers after his resurrection. Christians decorate their churches with lots of white and red. Red is the colour of flames and it is the symbol of the Holy Spirit. White is for goodness and it's the time for new Christians to do baptism at Pentecost this is known as the White Sunday or Whit Sunday. People also sing songs about the Holy Spirit. Some churches celebrate with a service full of flags to help them think or remember about the wind and flames of the Holy Spirit and also some churches go on Whit walks. This is to show everyone that they believe in Jesus. Christians believe that Pentecost was the time that God sent the Holy Spirit to the disciples. This helped them to be brave and strong and to tell people about Jesus. Christians believe that God has promised to send the Holy Spirit to help anyone who asks Jesus to forgive them for all the things that they have done wrong. People feel very happy because it's like a birthday for a church. In The Bible Act 2 verse 38 it says "And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit". Holy Spirit helps the people to be like Jesus. Jesus left his friends to go back to heaven and he promised them that he would send a helper to be with them but nobody understand what he meant by that. One day all the friends were together in a room. They were feeling very sad and lonely. Then all of a sudden the room got filled with the sound of a rushing wind, then something that looked like flames of fire came and settled over each person's head. They all felt different, then they all came out and told people about it and everybody understand them even tough they were speaking different languages. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. I n act 2 verses 1 it says "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them". Peter was no longer frightened or sad or lonely. He stood up and told everyone about Jesus and about the Holy Spirit and lots people believed him.
