Pentecost Sunday (May 19 this year; this coming Sunday) is a celebration of the birth of the church and the movement of the Holy Spirit as told in Acts. Red is the symbolic color of Pentecost with the flaming tongues of fire and the descent of the Holy Spirit upon God’s people (often depicted with a dove).
Traditionally, many churches encourage the wearing of red as part of the celebration of Pentecost. We invite you to wear something red this coming Sunday as we celebrate Pentecost and the birth of the church.
