Pentecost 2019

"In Western Churches, Pentecost is usually represented with
the color red, which symbolizes the fire of the Holy Spirit."
(From 10 Things You Should Know About Pentecost Sunday)

I wore a red shirt, which, despite the color's ominous implications in Star Trek, has a meaning that predates sci-fi by millennia.

According to Acts 2 the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples with tongues of fire. And so it is that the church celebrates its birth at Pentecost, the most important Christian holiday after Christmas and Easter.

Being the hottest day so far this year, the priest told the usher (that's me) to leave the doors closed to keep the air-conditioning in. After the service I spent the rest of the day doing chores indoors.

It's a fiery day, but let's keep it metaphorical.
