Calendar for June 25 - Spiritual Tuesday
After Christ's ascension, the disciples remained in Jerusalem and in one room in Zion they often gathered and prayed together to God, eagerly awaiting the promised Comforter, the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father. The place of Judas Iscariot among the twelve was filled by Matthias. On Pentecost, everyone was together, when a roar filled the whole house and tongues of fire appeared and descended on each of the apostles. Having gone out on the roof of the house, they spoke and preached to the gathered people in languages they did not know until then, so that all gathered, both Jews and non-believers, understood them. Three thousand people on this day believed the apostle's preaching and were baptized. This day is considered the birth day of the Church of Christ.
As on the feast of Pentecost, the Jews, that means the apostles on that Pentecost, decorated their houses with branches, flowers and grass, remembering the time when, after slavery, they wandered with Moses in the desert and lived in huts made of branches and leaves, even today on the feast of Descent They fill the Holy Spirit on the apostles of the Orthodox Church with grass and flowers from which wreaths are woven.
Venerable Onuphrius the Great. Venerable Peter of Aton. Venerable Timothy, the hermit of Egypt. Reverend Vasian and Jonah.
