Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of the Saints [All Latin Martyrologies, Anglican Reformed Kalendar. By the Greeks the Octave of Pentecost is observed in commemoration of All Martyrs.] As early as the 4th century we have evidence that the Eastern Church celebrated on the Sunday which is the Octave of Pentecost, and now in the West is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, a festival in commemoration of all the Martyrs throughout the world. We have a homily of S. John Chrysostom preached on this day (Hom. 74). The idea of holding this festival on the Octave of Pentecost is striking. The descent of the Holy Ghost is recorded on Whitsun Day, and on the Sunday following is exhibited the work of the Holy Ghost, out of weakness making men and women and children strong to endure the loss of all things.
