The Roots of Pentecost
All Things Considered, April 26, 2006 ·

Pentecostalism as a religious
movement is 100 years old.

But it is named for an event,
the Pentecost,
that most Christian churches
recognize and celebrate.

In the Bible,
the book of Acts describes
the descent of the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost Sunday is seven weeks,
or 49 days, after Easter.

The word "Pentecost" comes
from the Greek word for fifty.

I thought you might be interested.
