Silly Presbyterian Quiz


This month the church celebrates Pentecost, so it becomes the subject of our quiz.

The Presbyterian Quiz

Pentecost Edition.

Why is the day called Pentecost?

A It is derived from the old Latin for “Penny cost” which is what a 16 oz mocha cost in biblical times.

B It is derived from the word for 50 which is the number of days between Jesus’ ascension and, well, Pentecost.

C It is derived from the Greek word for drunkenness as that is what the disciples were accused of.

D Easter and Christmas were already taken.



Easter has a bunny and Christmas has Santa. Why doesn’t Pentecost have a cuddly secular mascot?


A Several prototypes were tried but they kept burning up or blowing away.

B There is one. You’ve never heard of Sparky?

C One was developed but Santa’s legal team got involved and the threat of litigation was too great.

D Casper?



Why does Peter quote from the prophet Joel and not something more well known such as Nahum?

A The wind had blown his bible open to Joel.

B He was showing off because Barnabas had earlier quoted Haggai.

C Isaiah was so old school

D because the passage says “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh”. Silly.



If flames appeared over their heads? Why was there hair not burned?

A Their hair was made of the same stuff as the burning bush,

B They were all bald.

C History is silent on this subject

D I should be silent on this subject



If the spirit is like the rush of a mighty wind, does that make Nebraska the most spiritual of states?

A Yes
