PENTECOST SUNDAY
Sunday, May 24, 2026
Pentecost is a Principle Feast Day of the church, celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter. This year, Pentecost is May 24th. For Christians, Pentecost commemorates the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles and other followers of Jesus. Because the Holy Spirit has inspired the spread of the Good News of Jesus to the world, Pentecost is often understood to be the birthday of the Church. Happy Birthday!!! On this day, the clergy wears RED vestments, and the altar will be adorned with red hangings. It is even customary for the people of the congregation to wear RED as well.
