So why am I emphasizing the number 50 so much in my introduction. I am glad you ask that question. Today is the Pentecost Sunday and Pentecost means "fiftieth". Pentecost is a Christian holiday which takes place on the 50th day after Easter Sunday. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks.
