PENTECOST PARAMENTS
Scripture gives us specific symbols for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Christian Church in Acts 2:2-4. The pulpit parament combines the rhythmic patterns of the "mighty wind" with the dove symbolic of the Holy Spirit. These two symbols are enclosed in a circle, the symbol of completeness for the Trinity.
The table parament features the "tongues parting asunder, like as of fire" by which the "mighty works of God" were declared and are unto this day.
Red is the symbolic color for Pentecost; it suggests fervor, zeal, victory and triumph.
