THE FEAST OF PENTECOST OR WHIT SUNDAY May 19, 2024

The Feast of Pentecost, whose name means the ‘fiftieth day’, is the last day and concluding feast of Eastertide. The entire season of Easter, or Paschaltide, is a single celebration of fifty days, being the high point of the entire Church’s year. As we celebrated the resurrection of Christ our Lord on Easter Day, so now we celebrate the outpouring of the fruits of that glorious victory over sin and death upon all Our Lord’s disciples.
