         DefinitionShort: a Jewish harvest festival celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover

         Glosses: Pentecost

         Comments: In most languages the festival of Pentecost is identified simply by a borrowed term based on the Greek expression πεντηκοστή. Some languages, however, use a phrase such as ‘the festival of the fiftieth day,’ and then in a footnote explain the fact that this was a harvest or thanksgiving festival occurring fifty days after Passover.
