The Day of Pentecost, as recorded in Acts 2, occurred 50 days after Jesus' resurrection and 10 days after His ascension.

The day celebrates the sending of the Holy Spirit to the disciples following Jesus' ascension. On the 50th day after the Sabbath of Passover, the Jews celebrated a festival of thanksgiving for the harvest. It was known by a number of different names:

* Feast of Weeks (Ex. 34:22; Deut. 16:10)
* Feast of Harvest (Ex. 23:16)
* Day of First fruits (Num. 28:26)

The "Feast of Weeks" was the second-most important festival for the Jews. (The most important was Passover.) This explains why so many people from all over the Roman empire were in Jerusalem on the day when the Holy Spirit was sent (see Acts 2:8-11).

The Day of Pentecost is seen as the culmination of the Easter season.

The color of the day is red, symbolizing the tongues of fire that appeared on the apostles.
