Whitsunday. The feast of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles on the 50th day after
Easter (see
PENTECOST). It ranks, after Easter, as the second greatest festival in the Church. In the W. the vigil of Pentecost soon became a secondary date for Baptisms, with a ceremony resembling that of the
Paschal Vigil Service, and the name ‘Whitsunday’ is said to derive from the white robes worn by the newly baptized on that day. In the RC Church the Sundays between Whitsunday and
Advent were, until 1969, reckoned as ‘Sundays after Pentecost’; in the E. Church the Sundays outside the period Lent-Eastertide are still so reckoned, though the feast itself is kept as that of the Holy Trinity, the Monday following being designated of the Holy Spirit. For current divisions of the ecclesiastical year see
YEAR, LITURGICAL.
