PENTECOST

Suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, the noise of which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.

Acts 2:1-2

The image is from a 13th century English manuscript held at the Walters Museum in Baltimore, and is used with their kind permission.
