PENTECOST - O PENTECOSTES

Today is Pentecost Sunday. Hoje é Domingo de Pentecostes.

Here is a 50.50 wide, 33.50 high (dimensions) watercolour signed by the artist Estella Manzini ( 1887 - 1964 ), entitled PENTECOST. It represents the powerful Descent of the Holy Spirit over the followers of Christ. It marks the end of a 5o day period of fear from persecution and the beginning of their courageous testimony to both Romans and Jews, and people from every nation.

Jesus: the Kernel of Wheat/o Grão de Trigo

Jesus' Ascension to heaven is celebrated 40 days after Easter. Before leaving He promised he would be back. A Subida de Jesus para o céu é celebrada 40 dias depois da Páscoa. Antes de partir prometeu que voltaria.

John 12:24 (New International Version)
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

João 12:24 (O Livro)
A verdade é esta: se um grão de trigo, ao cair na terra, não morrer, ficará somente uma semente isolada. Mas se morrer, ele produzirá muitos grãos.
