The Orthodox Christians celebrate Pentecost or the Descent of Holy Spirit on June 3. Pentecost is one of the Orthodox Great Feasts and is considered to be the highest ranking Great Feast of the Lord, second in rank only to Easter, Info-Prim Neo reports. Among Christians, Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Twelve Apostles and other followers of Jesus. For this reason, Pentecost is sometimes described as the “Birthday of the Church”. The feast itself lasts three days. The first day is known as “Trinity Sunday”; the second day is known as “Spirit Monday” (or “Rusaliile”); and the third day, Tuesday, is called the “Third Day of the Trinity”. In the morning of Pentecost, the Christians go to the Church, but before this they decorate their houses with walnut and lime tree leaves and other symbolic herbs. According to the priest Teodor Borta of God’s Birth Cathedral, the plans that adorn the houses symbolize life. The people also give alms. This gesture means the liquidation of egoism and creation of a balance between the rich and the poor. On June 3, the Orthodox Christians also celebrate Saints Constantine and Helen. Constantine was a Christina emperor who managed to gather a three times larger army by prayer and faith. He sent his mother Helen to look for the cross on which Jesus Christ’s was crucified. She found the cross after many months.
