History of Pentecost with Fr. Rob, a Throwback
Pentecost is the only Jewish celebration found Leviticus that Christians still observe in the Catholic Liturgical Calendar. This festival originally celebrated the harvest fifty days after the Passover. Fr. Rob dives into the story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis.
