The Christian Pentecost: Pentecost is celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ "We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God." (Acts 2:9-11) For more info about languages spoken in America: Slate: Tagalog in California, Cherokee in Arkansas: What language does your state speak?
