Pentecost is a Christian holiday that takes place on the 50th day after Easter Sunday. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles.
I celebrate this day as a believer. It’s important to observe days like this because it’s a reminder of the mission of the faithful to share the fire of faith that sustains me and charges me with being in the company of saints and sinners.
Woke means a lot of things to a lot of people and I choose to reclaim the meaning of it. It’s about being sensitive to the needs of others. Being a good person.

Being woke is important and needed in the days we live in.
I won’t argue about this and if you disagree that is your problem.
