Feast of Weeks

Tonight at sundown, the 6th of Sivan on the Jewish calendar, the Feast of Weeks begins.  You may know the Feast of Weeks by it's Greek name, Pentecost.  Pentecost means "fiftieth."  Pentecost comes 50 days after Passover.  In Hebrew, the Feast of Weeks is called Shavout.

What do you know about Pentecost?  I encourage you to explore these links.  There is much more to Pentecost than you may have known.
