At thE annual feast of Shavaot (Pentecost) the followers of Yeshua (Jesus), who had recently been executed, but then came back to life, were in a house in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) when suddenly it got very noisy, like a violent wind, as the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) filled them. Together they started speaking in all sorts of languages, telling of all the great things God had done. People from all over rushed to the scene, startled at the noise and the sight of what appeared to be flames resting on all the followers. Even the group from Hibernia stopped playing their gigue and gathered around with the thousands of others. Eventually Peter spoke to the crowd and explained that the Holy Spirit had come to imbue them with the power and ability to speak in the multitude of languages that had so shocked the majority of the crowd.
