What is the season of Pentecost?

What is Pentecost? What is the season of Pentecost?

The Day of Pentecost is the birthday of the Christian Church where the believers of Jesus received the Holy Spirit and the gift to communicate to many people. 

The Church that uses the Revised Common Lectionary will celebrate the season of Pentecost as a time for teaching disciples (that's us believers) the way of Jesus. 

The Sundays after Pentecost represent readings where Jesus is teaching disciples/others and thus the Church the way of faith. 

Each Sunday in Pentecost covers a particular teaching of Jesus about some aspect of discipleship. 

In the Episcopal Church these Sundays are noted as "Propers" or the proper readings for a particular Sunday after the day of Pentecost.

This blog uses the day of the calendar year for its daily readings to mark progression in reading the Bible in a year and the liturgical day (minus saints or commemoration days) to note where we are "at" in our readings in the context of the life of the Church.
