Pentecost Word Search

This Pentecost word search tells the story in Acts 2 and the feast behind it: the rushing wind, tongues of fire, the Holy Spirit, the apostles in Jerusalem, Peter's sermon, and Shavuot, the harvest festival held fifty days after Passover.

Pentecost is the Greek name for the Jewish Feast of Weeks, Shavuot, counted seven weeks from Passover; pentekoste means fiftieth. It marked the wheat harvest, when farmers brought their firstfruits to the Temple, and Jewish tradition also ties it to the giving of the Torah at Sinai and reads the book of Ruth. That is why Jews from Parthia, Media, Elam, Cappadocia, Egypt and Rome were in Jerusalem that day.

Acts says the crowd heard the apostles speaking in their own languages and asked how these Galileans could do it. Peter answered with the prophet Joel, about young men who would see visions and old men who would dream dreams, and about three thousand people were baptized. Churches mark the day in red, and in England it was long called Whitsunday, probably for the white robes of the newly baptized.
