Images of Pentecost
Because Pentecost is the fullness of the Pascha, and the resurrected life is our eternal destiny, St Athanasius saw in the season of Pentecost an icon of eternity. For the Pascha of 332 he wrote,
"Let us celebrate also the days of holy Pentecost, demonstrating through them the world to come."
Pentecost and Holy Spirit Day (Monday after Pentecost) are celebrated in green vestments of all shades and green branches adorn churches.

Pentecost in Moscow
Give swift and stable comfort to your servants, Jesus,
when our spirits are despondent.
Do not part from our souls in afflictions,
do not be far from our minds in perils, be ever before us.
Be near us, be near, you who are everywhere.
+ St Romanos the Melodist, 6th century
