“…the fire of Pentecost, ‘the grace of the Holy Spirit, is handed down through all generations and enlightens all who obey their spiritual shepherds and teachers,’ the heirs to the apostolic ministry. Pentecost, in this way, is not so-much a one-time event—‘the birthday of the Church’ as it is popularly known—but the ongoing state of the Church in this final age of this passing world. “
(Metropolitan Tikhon of the OCA, ‘Reflections in Christ’)
