St. Mary and the Holy Spirit
Sorry this may seem like a stupid question, but ....St. Mary received the Holy Spirit when Angel Gabriel came and told her that she will have Jesus "And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. " Luke 1:35, but wasn't St. Mary also present during Pentecost when the disciples received the Holy Spirit, "These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers." Acts 1;14, so......the Holy Spirit twice? or was she with them but the Holy Spirit only came on the disciples then?

The Holy Spirit works in a number of ways. In the Holy Gospel of St Luke, it is specifically referring to the power of the Holy Spirit causing her concieve in her virgin womb the Divine Logos of God. Pentecost was a more general coming into the world of the Holy Spirit to everyone.
