Today is Pentecost Sunday, a day of celebration for Christians around the world. In the last three days I have been blogging on the meaning and spiritual significance of Pentecost. I have gathered these three posts into a series which I have called:

What is Pentecost? Why Does It Matter?

In this series I discuss the historical origins of Pentecost and how this Christian holiday can make a difference in your relationship with God.
