Christians celebrate the day of Pentecost 7 weeks after Easter. 7 weeks is 49 days plus 1 day is 50 thus the name Pentecost. This was the day the giving of the Holy Spirit became evident. There was already a Jewish holiday of Pentecost that is 7 weeks after Passover. This was a time of Harvests. Barley would be harvested during Passover and Wheat during Pentecost. Jewish tradition is that the Law was given on their Pentecost. | ||||||
