People arrive in front of the Chartres cathedral, on June 1, 2009 during the annual Pentecost pilgrimages, in Chartres. Pentecost, also known in Britain as Whitsunday, is observed on the fiftieth day after the resurection of Christ, when Christians believe the Holy Spirit gave the disciples of Jesus the power to be understood in any language.
