    Pentecost, the Easter of the Roses

    Catholic tradition also linked Pentecost with roses, the symbol of the tongues of fire that descended upon the apostles and the Virgin Mary.

    Dom Prosper Guéranger recalls that in the Middle Ages Pentecost was known as the “Easter of the Roses.” In Rome, rose petals were scattered from the oculus of the Pantheon, now the Basilica of Santa Maria of the Martyrs, to represent the coming of the Holy Spirit. Source
