Pentecost holds profound significance in the Christian faith for it is believed to be the Birth of the Church:
Why is it called the Birth of the Church?
It is called the Birth of the Church because Pentecost is when the apostles went out among the people and began spreading Jesus’ message, thus establishing the beginning of the Church. Pentecost commemorates the event described in the Acts of the Apostles where the Holy Spirit descended upon Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his Apostles while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks. This momentous occasion is recorded in Acts 2:1
