The end of the Easter season.

The feast of Pentecost brings to a close the Easter season. Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. He has returned to His Father in heaven. He now sends the Holy Spirit onto the apostles and marks them out for spreading the Gospel to all people. The church now turns Her attention to what is called Ordinary Time. The colour of vestments turns to Green ( except for Holy Days and saints feast days). It is a time for the Church to reflect on her mission to the world.
