Chag Sameach Shavuout/Happy Feast of weeks (Pentecost)!
Shavuot, or Pentecost, is the fourth Holy Day of Yahweh's Calendar, and is the final feast of the Spring Feast season.
Shavuot means "Weeks," and is a one day festival. It occurs 50 days from the regular weekly Sabbath following Passover. This feast commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) in Acts.
"You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete sabbaths. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to Yahweh. You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an [a]ephah; they shall be of a fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to Yahweh." -Leviticus 23:15-17
"When the day of Pentecost (Shavuot) had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire [b]distributing themselves, and [c]they [d]rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other [e]tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance." -Acts 2:1-4
It is a time of joy and celebration!
