50 days after Easter, Christians celebrate Pentecost and the Easter season comes to an end. It is one of the high festivals in the Catholic church year. The festival commemorates the so-called language miracle at Pentecost. According to biblical tradition, the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples and they began speaking in foreign languages. As a result, they became a unit and were able to proclaim the message of Jesus to other people without a language barrier. Pentecost is therefore sometimes referred to as the “birthday of the church”.
