	Pentecost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pentecost or Pentecost Sunday (symbolically related to the Jewish festival of Shavuot) is a feast on the Christian liturgical calendar that commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and women followers of Jesus, fifty days (seven weeks) after Easter, and nine days after Ascension Thursday.
		Pentecost is also known in English, especially in Britain, as Whitsun (Whitsunday), from the Old English, as Hwita Sunnandæg, ("White Sunday,") —in reference to the white robes worn by those baptized on the previous Easter.
		Pentecostal Christian churches, which are so named because they emphasise the Holy Spirit in each individual, celebrate Pentecost as the anniversary of the disciples' being filled with the Spirit, as described in the New Testament in Acts 2:17.

	God's Word On ... COUNTING PENTECOST
		You may be aware that a few now keep a Monday Pentecost, counting "beginning with" the Sunday, but arguing that they are supposed to complete fifty days before they observe the day, making Pentecost (the "count 50" day), instead to be the 51st day.
		However, Deuteronomy 16:10 emphasizes the correct understanding of Pentecost being on the 50th day, immediately after the seven weeks are complete, rather than on the 51st day.
		Thus, we observe Pentecost on the first day of the week, the day which is commonly called Sunday.
