A Bíblia: uma Biblioteca de Livros para Todos - de Todas as Idades, Culturas e Gerações

Por que celebramos o Natal, o Dia de Reis, a Páscoa, a Ascensão, o Pentecostes? Por que razão a coroa de advento, prendas, estrelas, anjos, pastores são centrais no Natal? Por que comemos cabrito ou borrego na Páscoa? De onde nos vêm expressões como " daqui lavo as minhas mãos " ou " bode expiatório" ou "coisas do arco da velha"? Que está por detrás de tantas pinturas clássicas, de obras centrais da literatura mundial, de filmes como os Dez Mandamentos, o Príncipe do Egipto, The Climb? Que se entende por Verdade, Amor, Justiça, Gratidão, Compaixão, Arrependimento, Perdão...? Quem foi Eva, Adão, Abel, Caim, Sansão, David, Samuel, Rute, Débora, Daniel, Isaías ou Jeremias ?

PENTECOSTES- THE FEAST OF PENTECOST and Shavuot

50 days after Resurrection Sunday, 10 days after the ASCENSION OF CHRIST,  the 2nd Person of the DIVINE TRINITY goes BACK TO HIS FORMER GLORY, recovering His Former UNION WITH GOD THE FATHER.
PENTECOST SUNDAY celebrates THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, the 3rd Person of the DIVINE TRINITY to live in men that accept CHRIST as THEIR SAVIOUR from eternal condemnation and ONLY MEDIATOR with GOD, the CREATOR.
