Pentecost

The word comes from the Greek which means fifty. It is a celebration on the fiftieth day after Passover. It was a culmination of the feast of weeks. In the book of Acts it says that on the day of Pentecost following the Passover upon which Jesus was executed, disciples of Jesus were gathered and they heard a great wind and spoke in tongues as tongues of fire that settled upon them. Christians interpet this as the reception of the Holy Ghost.
