Pentecost

Pentecost is a feast in the Church that recalls the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. This painting of the Holy Spirit is above the main altar at Caravita, the Oratorio in Rome near the Pantheon where we attend an English language Eucharist on Sundays.

Many years ago in New York City, the Reverend Aldo J. Tos encouraged parishioners to wear red to church on Pentecost.
We were among maybe a dozen people
who wore red this morning at Caravita.

After the service, we enjoyed playing in the light rays that were descending from the cupola of the church.
