Religion:

• Pentecost marks the end of the Easter Season. It is this Sunday, May 31st. After Jesus ascended into heaven, he promised to send the Holy Spirit to be with his friends and disciples forever.
  On Pentecost, when they were all together, suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven, and what seemed to be tongues of fire separated and came to rest on each of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Over 3,000 people came to believe, and the Church was born that day! Happy Birthday Church! Here are 2 videos about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit.
