Whitsunday (The Day of Pentecost)

​

Fifty days or seven weeks after Easter, Pentecost commemorates the promised outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. Already special to the Jews as the Feast of Weeks, a celebration of the giving of the Law through Moses, Christians think of the day as marking the birth of the Church, the new community of the Spirit. It is called Whitsunday in remembrance of the white robes of those newly baptized this day..
