ACTS of the APOSTLES
Chapter 2, Verses 1-4

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Here is the ping you requested.

[wbarmy]

Wonderful paintings, but I do not believe there is support for Mary being at the center of the whole situation. In keeping in line with the scripture, Peter was probably leading the group of 130+ in prayer, when the event occurred.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Certainly, there is no scriptural mention even of her presence on that occasion, nor for that matter on later occasions. Yet, where else would she be?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good Morning, Mary-Lou! :-)

[Responsibility2nd]

Thank you. Very much appreciated.

[etabeta]

Before the 12th c., Peter was the central figure of the Pentecost. Beginning in the 12th c. images put Mary central among the apostles, medieval commentators describing her as the image of the Church. With the end of the Middle Ages her presence is always mandatory.

Great compilation of images, my favorites are from the Pre-Renaissance and from the illuminated manuscripts.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for that background, Alba.

[wbarmy]

Excuse me, but there is scriptural proof of her being at Pentecost.

Acts 1:13 “And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.”

I have to assume they were still meeting together and praying at the time of Pentecost. Acts 2 begins by saying that they were all in one accord in one place.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well done—thanks for that reminder.

[wbarmy]

The horrible reality of that upper room meeting was the count. 500 saw Jesus being taken up, but only 120 were counted as disciples, faithful enough to be a Pentecost.

Oh what a terrible fate, to not be where you could have easily been, if only you had continued in fellowship and prayer.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It is ever thus.

[Albion Wilde]

So many variations on this difficult-to-picture, supernatural scene! Paintings, manuscript illumination, stained glass, bas-relief sculpture, icons, and manipulated digital copies. I was greatly struck by the stained glass panel, #40 by Bernini:

Bernini was the principal designer and sculptor of the fountain and colonnade surrounding the Vatican courtyard in front of St Peter's, where the crowds gather to hear papal addresses. Bernini's Holy Spirit stained glass (above) is part of his massive sculpture, the glorious Throne of Peter inside the basilica that encases what is believed to be St. Peter's actual wooden chair when he was Bishop of Rome. The dove is six feet across, wing tip to wing tip. Here is just a portion of the descrption from Wikipedia, which provides many details of the entire work of art:

The Chair of Saint Peter (Latin: Cathedra Petri), also known as the Throne of Saint Peter, is a relic conserved in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City... The relic is a wooden throne that tradition claims belongs to the Apostle Saint Peter, the leader of the Early Christians in Rome and first Pope, used as Bishop of Rome. The relic is enclosed in a sculpted gilt bronze casing designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and executed between 1647 and 1653...

This image is high-res, so you can enlarge it with your browser to see fine detail:

[Hebrews 11:6]

Spectacular. Thanks!

[wbarmy]

Seriously, can you imagine Peter, the fisherman, having something like that built for him? With the persecutions going on, with his sense of guilt for his denial, and with his obvious humility coming through in his letters, why would anybody think he would sit in that monstrosity.

Think "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"

[Albion Wilde]

The art is not for Peter to sit in, but to give honor and glory to God. Times were different then. Today’s citizen would think a few thousand dollarss to create a piece of art is wasted money; but the same person unthinkingly leaks thousands in movie tickets, streaming services, internet and cable, and video games.

None of those things were available when the basilica was built. Churches in every community in Christendom were the main centers of congregating, not just for hearing the Word, but also for learning, including visual learning as we all take for granted today with ubiquitous media. The artisans and artists of the time, or their patrons, wanted to contribute from their talents to make the churches showplaces of devotion, using the gifts God has given mankind through architecture, art, music, and the spoken word.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I think you could even extend your argument, thus: Peter’s humility, as evidenced by the extrabiblical report of him insisting on his unworthiness to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus, carried on throughout his lifetime. There was no faltering late-in-life.

[wbarmy]

Then that chair was made in the Middle Ages and not the actually chair that Peter sat in.

But the Catholic church claims the throne is a relic and the tradition states Peter actually used it. In that day and age, 1st and 2nd century, no one, especially a Jew to whom artwork was cultural anathema, would ever allow that to be made for himself.
