# Pentecost
Pentecost is a day when the people of Israel celebrated something. They celebrated it that same day every year. The word “pentecost” is also the word used for the number “fifty.” God gave the law to Moses fifty days after he brought the Israelites out of Egypt. Pentecost is when the people of Israel remembered this time. It is also known as The Feast of Weeks (see: Exodus 34:22; Deuteronomy 16:9-10), The Feast of the Harvest (see: Exodus 23:16), and the day of the First Fruits (see: Numbers 28:26).
In New Testament times, the Christians also celebrated Pentecost. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to Christians on the same day that the Jews celebrated the Feast of Pentecost. This day was also fifty days after Jesus returned to heaven. For Christians, Pentecost is a celebration of when God sent the Holy Spirit to Christians (see: Acts 2:1-31).
