<< The Day of Pentecost is such a neglected Holiday in the Church and IMO should be one of the greatest celebrations. In Judaism it is celebrated as the day Moses came down the Mountain with the stone tablets. This is also significant for 3,000 people are mentioned in the scriptures to have died when the Law came into the world and when the Holy Spirit came on that same Holiday 3,000 are mentioned as receiving eternal life through the Gift of the Holy Spirit. >>

There are three Penetecosts that I know of and they all fell on different days:

1. Old testament - you can find this in Exodus and Deuteronomy. It's the celebration that marked the completion of the barley harvest. It was for thanksgiving but also of fear, because of the sin offerings and peace offering that were required. In those days if the offerings were not acceptable it was a great cause for concern, as God is a Holy God.

2. Judaism- During the period of Malichi to Mathew. Penetecost was regarded as the anniversary of the law giving at Sinai. This comes from books other than the bible. ( Try the book of Jubilees) This is what Nancy is referring to. The Saducees celebrated it on the 50th day after passover, but the Pharisees disagreed (Saduccess refer to Lev 23:, vs the Pharisees of 23:15) I'm not an expert on this. But from what I know Judaism won over and it's been celebrated on various days of the week since the fall of the temple in 70 AD.

3. Christian- This is the Penetecost that Christians are familiar with. This is the one where the disciples were together and the Holy Spirit descended, giving power to them. This is the ones that Christians yearn for in their hearts, considering all the other Pentecosts only shadows. This is the one that Peter said Joel prophesied of. And I believe that this is the one that Paul kept talking about wanting to celebrate in Jerusalem.
