On the Jewish Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost in Greek) which is the anniversary marking the 1st covenant, the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai, all the disciples had gathered in Jerusalem. They met in the upper room where they had held the Last Supper, where Jesus had appeared to them in resurrected form. Suddenly the Holy Spirit descended and fell upon them all, tongues of fire appeared over their heads. A supernatural occurance that was to transform them for all time. Today we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit who remains with us still.
