Pentecost Sunday - commemorating when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus' followers (painting by Titian, ~1545):
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, fear of the Lord. The biblical origin of the seven gifts is found in Isaiah (11:1-3), where Isaiah describes the qualities of the Messiah. More on Pentecost and the gifts of the Holy Spirit here at EWTN.
