Today I was listening to music by Palestrina - this motet "Dum Complerentur" is particularly nice and joyful, and although I did know it's relevance, decided to re-read the text again. The Latin text and English translation (thanks to cpdl.org) are:
Latin text
Dum complerentur dies Pentecostes,
erant omnes pariter dicentes, Alleluia:
et subito factus est
sonus de coelo, Alleluia,
tamquam spiritus vehementis,
et replevit totam domum, Alleluia.
Dum ergo essent
in unum discipuli congregati,
propter metum iudæorum,
sonus repente de coelo
venit super eos,
tamquam spiritus vehementis,
et replevit totam domum, Alleluia.
English translation
When the day of Pentecost had come
they were all together talking, alleluia:
and suddenly there was
a sound from heaven, alleluia,
as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled the whole house, alleluia.
When therefore the disciples
were gathered together in one
for fear of the Jews,
a sound from heaven came upon them,
as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled the whole house, alleluia.
Q: (L) I would like to know, in the description of the Pentecost, it was said that the disciples gathered in a room and prayed for days and days and suddenly a wind came rushing in and flames danced over their heads and they all began speaking in tongues. I would like to know if this event or something similar occurred?
A: No.
Q: (L) In other words, the true baptism of the "Holy Spirit" was when Jesus breathed on his disciples and transmitted something like the Reiki initiation?
A: Close.
While the translation for the motet makes no reference to fire or speaking in tongues, I had to wonder if it was a reference to something in the sky - considering the sky trumpeting noises that have been witnessed around the world in recent times. Perhaps the question asked to the C's originally was asking if the literal description happened? If fire references were added, plus the heavenly sounds and sudden wind in a possible reference to a significant comet/asteroid impacting the sky above them, I think if it were me in that situation, I'd probably be speaking in 'tongues' too - out of the fright and sudden chaos.
For interest, this is a link to the motet:
