Pentecost
Fifty days after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost.
The word Pentecost means 50 days after Easter.
The Old Testament tells those 50 days after Passover, there is the Feast of Weeks, which is celebrated with offering your first fruits and grains to God in the Temple in Jerusalem- giving thanks to God for all that He has given. This Feast is one of the three pilgrimage feasts of the Old Testament.
Hence we read in the Book of Acts, that 50 days after Christ’s Resurrection, believers gathered in the Upper Room- where also the Last Supper was celebrated:
“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. There appeared to them tongues as of fire, being distributed and resting on each of them, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
Now dwelling in Jerusalem were Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. When this sound occurred, the crowd came together and were confounded, because each man heard them speaking in his own language. They were all amazed and marveled, saying to each other, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? How is it that we hear, each in our own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites, residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the regions of Libya near Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans, and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own languages the mighty works of God.”
Pentecost celebrates the arrival of the Holy Spirit, and symbolizes the birth of the Church, as on that day 3,000 believers were added to the community of believers.
During the Pentecost celebrations, we go to the Upper Room and have liturgy there.

Mount Zion is one of the most impressive sites in Jerusalem - the Last Supper Room also called Cenaculum

Known also as the Cenaculum, according to Christian tradition, Jesus sat in this specific hall on the last Passover night before captured at Gethsemane and trialed to death by crucifixion.

During that meal Jesus stated the wine and bread his disciples are consuming symbolize his flesh and blood.

To this day the Sunday Mass contains a symbolic consumption of Jesus' flesh and blood. The Cenaculum is visited by crowds of excited Christian pilgrims on daily basis and was part of the itinerary of three Popes who visited the holy land in the years 1964, 2000, and 2009.

The room itself is really a Crusader structure dating to the 12th-13th Century, but by tradition, its origins are from Roman times. The structure also bears a Muslim prayer niche facing Mecca attesting that this room used to be also a mosque in the past.

Below the Last Supper Room is a compound consecrating the tomb of King David by Jewish tradition. This means that the whole building is uniquely sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.
