Celebrate Pentecost!
Sam, we should be celebrating Pentecost. This year, the Day of Pentecost will fully come on May 29th, starting at sundown on the evening of the 28th.
Indeed, Pentecost does celebrate the wheat harvest, but it also celebrates the biggest event written about in the Torah: the giving of the Ten Commandments. The rabbis calculated that the former slaves living in Egypt made a trek lasting nearly 7 weeks until they reached Mt. Sinai. On the 50th day after the Passover, G-d introduced Himself and gave the Decalogue to Israel.
On Pentecost, believers in the Jewish Messiah celebrate the day that the Law-Giver gave us His Spirit and wrote His Torah upon our hearts.
The Church celebrates Pentecost after counting fifty days from Easter.
G-d's Word instructs us to celebrate Pentecost after counting 7 weeks from the first day of the Unleavened Bread festival.
Celebrate Pentecost Sunday on 5/31/09? OK.
Celebrate Pentecost on 5/29/09? Definitely!
