You are invited to wear RED for Pentecost on Sunday, May 19. What is Pentecost? It is the second most important part of the Christian year after Easter. It is commemorated by both the Ascension of Jesus and the Descending of the Holy Spirit. What do the symbols of Pentecost mean?
- Wind: Represents God’s first breath of love
- Fire: Represents the Holy Spirit
- Red: The liturgical color of Pentecost
- Water: Represents new life
- Dove: The symbol of peace
Pentecost gives us a chance to ask ourselves, “What are we on fire about?” Here at Royal Oak First, we are on fire about Making Christ’s Love Real!
