Pentecost

The Christian religious holiday of Pentecost, that is well known on the seventh Sunday when Easter, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and different followers of Redeemer whereas they were in capital of Israel celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as represented within the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1–31). Read More

In jap Christianity, Pentecost may also talk over with the whole fifty days of Easter through Pentecost inclusive; thus the book containing the rite texts is termed the "Pentecostarion". Since its date depends on the date of Easter, Pentecost could be a movable feast. Read More

The religious holiday is additionally known as "White Sunday" or "Whitsunday", particularly within the UK, wherever historically succeeding day, smidgen Monday, was additionally a public vacation (now mounted by statute on the last Monday in May). In the Federal Republic of Germany Pentecost is termed "Pfingsten" and infrequently coincides with scholastic holidays and therefore the starting of the many out of doors and season activities, like festivals and arranged out of doors activities by youth organizations. The Monday when Pentecost could be a national holiday in several European nations. 

The term Pentecost comes from the Greek Πεντηκοστή (Pentēkostē) that means "fiftieth". It refers to the pageant celebrated on the fiftieth day when Pesah, additionally called the "Feast of Weeks"[i] and therefore the "Feast of fifty days" in spiritual leader tradition. Read More

The Septuagint uses the term Pentēkostē to talk over with the "Feast of Pentecost" solely doubly, within the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit and a couple of Maccabees. The Septuagint writers additionally used the word in 2 different senses: to suggest the year of the day of remembrance (Leviticus 25:10), an occurrence that happens each fiftieth year, ANd in many passages of chronology as a number.[ii] The term has additionally been employed in the literature of Hellenistical Judaism by Philo of Alexandria and Joseph ben Matthias. Read More
