Pentecost this Sunday - why do we wear red?

[homeschoolmama]

I'm just curious - not against it or complaining. At the Methodist church I'm going to (I don't consider myself "Methodist," but just a Christian) they asked everyone to wear red because it's Pentecost. Why should we wear red? Is there any significant meaning?

[Speculative]

Red symbolizes the tongues of flame (and by extension, the Holy Spirit) that appeared above their heads on the original Pentecost (Acts 2:3) :)

I never knew that - thanks! :thumbsup: <---- Cute how the "thumbs up" guy is red! ;)
