Church tomorrow is for celebrate Feast of Descent Holy Spirit also called 50 day Feast since Paskha.

I hope Holy Spirit can lead to better understanding between Catolics and Orthodox. Pray to such Divine Person for coooperation, love, tolerance of each other. I find very unfortunate that Akafist to Holy Spirit not available in English easily. Maybe Russian Church Beyond borders will emit it soon. Very beautiful prayer.

Descent Holy Spirit

Ukrainian name: Зішестя Святого Духа, П’ятидесятниця = zishestja svjatoho dukha or p’jatidesjatnitsja. Other names лестнице, зеденесвентки, русадла, русалии. - lestnitse, zedensventki, rusadla and rusalii - are more common in Bulgaria, Serbia perhaps among Lemkos.

Always have birch branches, fragrant grasses, flowers in home and church. Honor life-giving Holy Spirit with flowers.
 
We also call this Feast, ZELENJE NEDELU or GREEN SUNDAY.

My Baba ALWAYS baked makovnyk and orehovnyk and other goodies for this Feast!

And tomorrow is also a Feast Day!
 
Come Holy Spirit! Fill the hearts of all nations, let Catholics and Orthodox unite in Jesus Christ, and set the world on fire with love of God. Amen.
 
Have a blessed feast, and may the Holy Spirit descend on all of us, Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant alike, so that we may all truly be one as Christ intended.
