PENTECOST
Par Mary, vendredi 29 mai 2009 à 16:30 :: L'Ecole de Français
Pentecost is a Jewish and Christian feast celebrated fifty days after Easter. According to Christian tradition, it commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles under the form of tongues of fire. This year Pentecost will be on June 1st and, as it happens in other European countries, it will be bank holiday in France. The majority of French people will enjoy this feast to travel during the weekend, but the French school Inflexyon will be open to welcome its new students and start the June session.
To get further information, you can connect to the website of the French school Inflexyon and to the forum of the French courses.Partager
