| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pentecost |
 | | Whitsunday, as a Christian feast, dates back to the first century, although there is no evidence that it was observed, as there is in the case of Easter; the passage in I Corinthians (16:8) probably refers to the Jewish feast. | | | A feast of the universal Church which commemorates the Descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Apostles, fifty days after the Resurrection of Christ, on the ancient Jewish festival called the "feast of weeks" or Pentecost (Exodus 34:22; Deuteronomy 16:10). | | | In France it was customary to blow trumpets during Divine service, to recall the sound of the mighty wind which accompanied the Descent of the Holy Ghost. |

| | PFINGSTEN / PENTECOST |
| | Whitsunday (or Pentecost) is one of the principal feasts of the Christian church, celebrated on the 50th day after Easter, to commemorate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples. | | | The word Pentecost is of Greek origin (pentekoste hemera) and translates into "fiftieth Day." Whitsunday is connected with the Jewish Pentecost not only in the historical date of its origin, but also in the underlying idea. | | | The first or the last animal would be decorated with a wreath of flowers and was the "Pfingstochse" (the Whitsunday Ox). |
