Happy Pentecost for those who celebrate!
My parish had its annual International Pentecost Celebration. Parishioners from twenty to thirty different countries had tables representing their heritage or place of birth; most made food. We had representatives from Australia and the Cherokee Nation (just info at those tables, no food), and then food from, among others: Italy, Cuba, France, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Democratic Republic of Congo, Puerto Rico (technically a territory of the US, as Brilliant Husband just reminded me), Haiti, the Philippines, Korea, Ireland, Great Britain, the US, Ecuador, Colombia, El Salvador, Switzerland, Mexico, Wales, and I think Germany. I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some. We sang a Pentecost song, we welcomed refugees from Haiti who were brought to the Tampa area for medical treatment after the earthquake, and we ate (a lot).
My parish can be awesome.
