The description of Pentecost in Acts itself begins: "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord[a] in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind..." That doesn't identifiy who they "all" are, but in the previous chapter of Acts it talks about them getting together to meet in the upper room, and lists "Mary, mother of Jesus" among the people meeting for prayer, which would make it rather likely she was there later when they were assembled again.<br /><br />Mary's prominence in particular representations of Pentecost is probably a later addition, but her actual presence is definitely Biblically based.Stephen Shullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12236123563899507787noreply@blogger.com
