This day involving the Holy Spirit & the Apostles is sometimes described as the “birthday” of the church

Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Pentecost

Final Jeopardy Explanation 

This Christian holiday is celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter Sunday (including Easter Day) and 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 (Acts 2:1–31).

Pentecost is often referred to as the “birthday” of the Church because it marks the beginning of the Christian church’s mission to the world. This event is seen as the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise to send the Holy Spirit to empower his disciples to spread the gospel throughout the world. It is a significant event in the Christian liturgical year, symbolizing the establishment of the Christian faith as a global religion and the promotion of its teachings and values.
