I am struck by the Pentecost being 50 days after Easter, which is close timing to Shavuot coming after 49 days of counting the omer starting at the beginning of Passover. Shavuot commemorates receiving the Torah.

In my memory, the celebration of the Pentecost was bot one of the more major Catholic holidays.
