The Bandera Prophet
SHAVUOT, also called Feast of Weeks, will begin at sundown on Saturday, June 4 and lasts 24 hours. It is one of the three pilgrim festivals of Exodus 23 and Leviticus 23. It commemorates the giving of the Law, Torah, to Moses. It occurs 50 days after Passover. The book of Ruth is traditionally read on this day.
PENTECOST is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word. Sometimes described as the Birth of the Church, it is the day Christians celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus after His ascension, depicted in Acts 2. It is held on the seventh Sunday after Easter, on June 5 this year.
As it is a festive time for both religions, we wish all a Happy Shavuot/Pentecost.
