Orthodox Christians follow the Julian Calendar rather than the Gregorian Calendar and celebrate most holidays a week later. Orthodox Pentecost is a Christian observance celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit into the disciples of Jesus Christ following His ascension to heaven (Easter). It is always held on the seventh Sunday after Easter and coincides with the Jewish festival of Shavuoth.
