I can imagine the scene when the disciples celebrated the harvest/Pentecost.
Ḥag Shavuot/Pentecost (“Festival of the Weeks”) was originally an agricultural festival, marking the beginning of the wheat harvest.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
