Get Those Calendars Out

Here’s a trick to make sure you always know WHEN to celebrate Pentecost.

• To calculate the Day of Pentecost we always begin with Passover.

• Within every week of Passover is a seventh day Sabbath.

• We begin counting the Sunday after that seventh day Sabbath.

• Sunday is day number 1.

• Count 50 days.

• The 50th day will again be Sunday and that 50th day is…you guessed it…Pentecost.

• You may also count 7 weeks with week 1 starting after the seventh day Sabbath within the week of Passover, hence the name Feast of Weeks.
