Happy Birthday~

Today is Pentecost Sunday marking fifty days after Christ's resurrection, and when the Holy Spirit came upon Mary and the Apostles who were gathered in prayer, and filled them with grace and power.

This beautiful painting above the main altar of my church (named Holy Ghost Church) depicts this very significant event...this is also known as the birthday of the Church, and my parish remembers its beginning as well~

"Lord, send out your spirit, and renew the face of the earth."
~ Psalm 104
