For thousands of years, the Jewish people have celebrated a harvest festival called Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks). It’s also known as Pentecost, which means 50, because God commanded Israel to observe it 50 days after Passover. According to Jewish tradition, Pentecost marks the day when God gave us the Torah from Mount Sinai. And for believers in Jesus, it marks the fulfilment of his promise.
