The day of Pentecost is the Church’s festival of the Holy Spirit. It is the third principal festival of the church year, the day on which we remember how the Holy Spirit came powerfully to a gathering of Jesus’ followers in Jerusalem.
In Polish, this Feastday is called “ŚwiÄ™to Zielonych ÅšwiÄ…tki†or, literally, the “Holiday of Green.†Green, in the Church, is the color of hope. We’d like to “green up†the Church in a feeling of hope. If you have any green plants that you would like to decorate the church, window sills, sanctuary area; please bring them – thereby we shall emphasize the season of hope; for us, and for the Church to which Jesus promised the Holy Spirit.
