And it turns out that perhaps the Holy Spirit descended upon the mother, that is, upon the system, that is, upon society. One can suppose that the Mother of God is specifically some continent or some part of the Earth, or a country, it can be imagined this way. And upon this descended the Holy Spirit, perhaps it can be so. So there may still be many assumptions about how this can be correctly interpreted. What I also liked, well I am reading Wikipedia in English, that the Day of the Holy Trinity, it is called, so to speak, in Russia Pentecost, and in the English language among Catholics it is called Whitsun. This is very interesting, Whitsun. What else is written about it?
“Pentecost is one of the Great Feasts in the Orthodox Church, a Solemnity in the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, a Festival in Lutheran churches, and a Principal Feast in the Anglican Communion. In many Christian denominations a special liturgy is performed for this holiday. Since the date depends on the date of Easter, Pentecost is a ‘movable feast.’ The Monday after Pentecost is an official holiday in many countries of Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. The Feast of Weeks is also called the ‘Feast of Harvest’ in Exodus 23:16 and the ‘Day of Firstfruits.’”
It also says there that once “In the Hellenistic period this ancient harvest festival became the day of renewal of Noah’s covenant, described in Genesis 9:17, concluded between God and ‘all flesh that is on the earth.’” It is written that “there are several key features of the accounts of Pentecost presented in the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles.” The author begins by noting that “the disciples of Jesus,” in quotation marks, were all together in one place on the day of Pentecost. Also what caught my attention is that there is some mighty rushing wind, and this is the common symbol of the Holy Spirit. And it also says that “tongues as of fire appear.” “The gathered disciples ‘were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.’ In Christian tradition this event signifies the fulfillment of the promise that Christ would baptize His followers with the Holy Spirit. Of the four Gospels of the New Testament, the distinction between baptism with water and baptism by Christ ‘with the Holy Spirit and with fire’ occurs only in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. There is one sermon in which
