Pentecost Sunday is a special day on the Christian liturgical calendar that marks the anniversary of when the Holy Spirit descended upon the early church, as documented in Acts 2:1-13 . The Christian Post spoke with Evangelical clergy about the significance of celebrating the event during worship services for Pentecost Sunday.

The Holy Spirit coming down to the Apostles led them to speak in diverse languages while tongues of fire were said to be above them, according to the biblical account.

Known as "the birthday of the Church," Pentecost takes place 50 days after Easter, and, like Easter, it doesn't have a fixed date on the calendar. This year, it falls on June 8.
