The first Pentecost, as described in the Book of Acts, took place 50 days after Easter when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus. They were gathered in Jerusalem during the Jewish festival of Shavuot, and the event was marked by a powerful sound like a rushing wind and visible flames resting on each person. The apostles began speaking in various languages, allowing them to communicate with the diverse crowd present. This miraculous event led to the conversion of about 3,000 people, marking the birth of the Christian Church.
