Today is the Day of Pentecost, the fiftieth day of Eastertide. The Church recalls its roots in the house of Israel as it celebrates the conclusion of a “week of weeks,” that is, the Easter Season of seven weeks. Pentecost is a traditional day for baptisms, and in the Prayer Book tradition of the Episcopal Church, Pentecost is also know as “Whitsunday” because the baptized are clothed in white garments. The liturgical color for the day, however, is red, symbolizing the fire of the Holy Spirit. Ordinary time, the “Season after Pentecost,” begins tomorrow. Next Sunday, the first Sunday after Pentecost is Trinity Sunday.
