The
descent of the Holy Spirit upon
the Apostles on the day of Pentecost
is described by the Evangelist Luke in the initial chapters of his book Acts of the Holy Apostles. Pentecost,
celebrated on the fiftieth day after the Jewish Passover, was one of the
three major holidays of the Old Testament. Pentecost marked the adoption of
Sinai's legislation under the Prophet Moses when the Jewish people were
liberated from Egypt and entered into alliance with God nearly fourteen
hundred years before Christ's birth. At that time, the Jews promised to be
obedient to God and He, in turn, promised them His mercy and blessings.
Because the feast of Pentecost coincided with the end of the harvest season,
it was celebrated with great joy. Many Jews scattered over various parts of
the vast Roman empire hurried to Jerusalem to participate in this feast.
Having been born and having grown up in different countries, most of them
could hardly understand their mother tongue. They made an effort, however, to
observe their national and religious traditions and, at least from
|
time
to time, to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The descent of the Holy Spirit
was not an unexpected event for the Apostles. As far back as a few centuries
before the Savior's birth God began to prepare people for the day of their
spiritual rebirth. Bishop Alexander
(Mileant)
The
Holy Martyr Agrippina, was a Roman
by birth. She did not wish to enter into marriage, and totally dedicated her
life to God. During the time of persecution against Christians under the
emperor Valerian (253-259), the saint went before the court and bravely
confessed her faith in Christ, for which she was given over to torture. They
beat the holy virgin with sticks so much, that her bones broke. Afterwards,
they put St Agrippina in chains, but an angel freed her from her bonds. The
holy confessor died from the tortures she endured. The Christians Vassa,
Paula and Agathonica secretly took the body of the holy martyr and
transported it to Cilicia, where at her grave were worked many miracles. Prologue
from Ochrid;
Translated by Fr S. Janos (1997)
