Why is Pentecost a major feast in the Orthodox Church? by Fr. Anthony Mourad

Why is Pentecost a major feast in the Orthodox Church
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen.
So we have just spent 40 days celebrating the feast of the resurrection. And just recently, we celebrated the feast of the ascension. Now just ten days later we are about to celebrate yet another feast called Pentecost. If you’ve ever wondered why Pentecost is a major feast in the Orthodox Church, stick around and we’ll look at that together.

Once again Father Anthony, I thank God for "Coptic Orthodox Answers" and for you. Prayers continue.

Thank you for your presentation. A question: Eastern religions, such as Hinduism, teach that there is something divine in each person. This is testified for example by the greeting "Namaste" - the divine in me greets the divine in you. I see a correspondence here to what is implied in the Genesis narrative that purports that men was fashioned in the image of God and then being 'in-breathed' by him. Yet you say that the Spirit of God left men after the fall. I find it difficult to reconcile these ideas, but don't think it is impossible. Could you offer your perspective on this? Regards from Germany.
