a communion of saints

Pentecost is a movable feast that celebrates the Holy Spirit coming to descend upon the Apostles, as Jesus the Christ promised. Many religions recognize Pentecost as the birth of the Church. In 2025, Pentecost is celebrated on June 8.

Pentecost is the universal dissemination of the Christ Consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being.

"This is true communion with the Holy Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in everyone, and by bringing it to your appreciation, calls upon you to love God and Creation.  You can appreciate the Sonship only as One.  This is part of the law of creation and therefore governs all thought.”  ACIM, 123

Prepared, we now make our deep inner contact, through which invocation and evocation make possible the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Red is the official Church color for Pentecost, symbolizing the fire of the Holy Spirit. 

Christ came to gather all into his Church to unite them to the Christ Consciousness. This results in creating one family of nations united again. To this blessed state the miracle of tongues is the gift we receive.

Spiritual science teaches us that man is not merely a spectator here on earth, but that through our existence we are co-builder, co-shaper of the earth. And that through the body, which we hand over to the earth, we become a mediator for the earth - between the spiritual world and this physical world of the earth. 

This is part of the process of growing aware that one is not merely a citizen of the earth but a citizen of the world. By entering into existence through birth, we bring something of the soul and spirit into this world.

Pentecost is an important time for prayer and for listening to how God calls and commissions us to do sacred work - as done by the chosen disciples.
