The story of Pentecost
Slide 6
Pentecost happened 50 days after Easter Sunday when Jesus rose
from the dead. Jesus had already gone back to Heaven so the
disciples and new believers of Jesus were waiting to receive the
Holy Spirit because that's what Jesus told them would happen.
Slide 7
The ascension
Slide 8
Just before Jesus ascended up to heaven he told them that they
would receive power when the Holy Spirit came. He told them that
the Holy Spirit would be sent by God.
Slide 9
The disciples were together in Jerusalem and suddenly a sound
like the blowing of a strong wind came from heaven and filled the
whole house where they were sitting.
Slide 10
NextNext they saw tongues of fire that separated and came to
rest above each of them. When the tongues of fire came they were
filled with the Holy Spirit and the disciples began speaking in
different languages.
Slide 11
Slide 12
Things must have sounded chaotic! Imagine all these people
speaking many different languages at the same time and shouting out
praises to God excited that something amazing from God had just
happened to them.
Slide 13
The people asked how they could have the Holy Spirit in their
lives. Peter said, Ask God for forgiveness. So the people were
forgiven and God gave them the Holy Spirit and they began a new
life. The dove is a symbol of The Holy Spirit.

Why Whitsun? Whitsun is a shortening of White Sunday. This is
because it became a popular time for people to be baptised, and
those baptised would wear white clothes. A Whitsunday Parade
Slide 16
Some Whitsun customs Until 1971 the Monday of Whitsun week
(which is on a different date every year like Easter) was a bank
holiday, with cheese rolling, Morris dancing, mummers or miracle
plays and Whit walks or parades. In 1971 it became fixed as the
Spring Bank Holiday
