A Briefing of Pentecost

Fifty days after Easter Sunday Mother Mary and the twelve apostles Gathered together for a feast with bottles of wine They celebrated a Jewish festival at this time This was the fifteenth day, they say Of Passover It was proclaimed that a rush of wind Filled the house there they all hushed And a fire about their tongues resting over each head and descended; this promise that was sent from God through the prophet Joel to all that attended Then through the streets went the apostles To preach to all the crowds that came for the festival Not only the apostles preached for good will but by miracle native languages were spoken Then on came Peter who was outspoken He spoke of Jesus and his decent, that all people to be forgiven and repent for their sins About three thousand people of all colored skins Were baptized this day
