Here we are on the Feast of Pentecost 2023. How many of you ever thought you would be here on this Holy Day, this year? Yet here we are. In my last message, I covered the Holy Spirit and in thinking about Pentecost, it prompted three questions we are going to answer today: What do we know about the Day of Pentecost? What does the term First Fruits refer to? And, what do the Wave Sheaf and the two Wave Loaves associated with Pentecost symbolize?
