Pentecost Malerei von Dmytro Basiuk

Pentecost
1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8. And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9. Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10. Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11. Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
(Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11)

Description of the paiting:
The dove - is a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
The book on which dove seats - it's a Scripture/Bible/Word of God.
God speak through His word to us. "...so then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"
(Romans 10:17). When we read or hear a gospel, God speak to our hearts - and it's a work of the Holy Spirit.
Nothing in this world can fulfill our souls at all. But God. When we adopt God to our heart, we become the temples of a Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19). And He gives us love, joy and peace (Gal.5:22-23)

The paiting is a copy of one of the St.Evangelist Mark Cathedral (Venice) tops
