Pentecost is a Christian festival, not a Jewish one. It commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Christ, who is not recognised as the Messiah (Moshiach) in Judaism.
It lasts one day and is celebrated 50 days after Easter Sunday, which this year (2010) will be the 23rd of May.
