<holidayfyi-glossary slug="pentecost-term"></holidayfyi-glossary>A Christian feast celebrated fifty days after Easter Sunday, commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the founding of the Church as described in the Acts of the Apostles, and a public holiday in many European countries including Germany, the Netherlands, and France. In Judaism, the equivalent festival is Shavuot, celebrated fifty days after Passover and marking the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, demonstrating the deep calendrical connections between the two traditions.
