TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The disciples gathered on the fiftieth day after the
Resurrection were not keeping their first Pentecost. For
them, Pentecost was the fiftieth day after Passover, a feast
of the first fruits of the harvest. It was the second most
important feast of the year. Today, Jews gather on the eve
of the feast to study scripture and the law, and after the
feast begins at sundown, spend the day in joyful social
gatherings. The meaning of the celebration is the giving of
the law on Mount Sinai, so for Christians the connection to
the gifts of the Holy Spirit is obvious. In Sicily and in the
Pantheon in Rome, today the descent of the Holy Spirit is
enacted with a stunning ritual. Some churches there have
an "eye" in the roof open to the sky, called an oculus. After
the Gospel today, thousands of rose petals fall from the
oculus onto the assembly. Churches and homes are
decked in greenery and flowers to express the new life the
Holy Spirit brings on this, the "birthday of the church."
