The story of Pentecost

10 days after Jesus had descended into heaven, the apostles and other followers of Jesus gathered in a house, wind came from heaven and filled the room and immediately the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, they saw tongues that looked like fire above there head. The crowds of visitors were astonished because every pilgrim heard the apostles speaking to him or her in their own foreign language. Some accused the apostles of being drunk. Peter stood and addressed them, saying they were not drunk. It was only nine o'clock in the morning. Then, empowered by the Holy Spirit, Peter preached boldly to them, explaining about Jesus Christ and God's plan of salvation. The crowd was moved and asked how they could become true followers of Jesus. Peter told them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. He promised that they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. They took the gospel message to heart. About 3,000 people were baptized and added to the Christian church on that Day. From then to today on, Catholics are still spreading the stories of the gospel, they have encountered many up and downs but since the day of Pentecost, the day the church was born the religion has stayed and continues to grow on.
