How long after the ascension was Pentecost?

It was 50 days, because Jesus was crucified on the Passover and Pentecost is 50 days after that. This is important because the Jewish feast of Pentecost included the offering of two loaves of unleavened bread representing the first fruits of the harvest (see Lev. 23:17-20 , Deut. 16:9-10), Jesus is the First Fruit of the Harvest, and Pentecost in the Christian Church is also the anniversary of the coming of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2).

What is a novena for the Catholic Church?

Catholic AnswerNovena from the Latin word novem (which means nine) refers to nine days of prayer, it originated with the nine days from Ascension to Pentecost when the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin prayed after Our Blessed Lord ascended and before the Holy Spirit arrived. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Novena. Nine days of public or private prayer for some special occasion or intention. Its origin goes back to the nine days that the Disciples and Mary spent together in prayer between Ascension and Pentecost Sunday. Over the centuries many novenas have been highly indulgenced by the Church. In modern times the one before Pentecost was prescribed for parochial churches. (Etym. Latin novem, nine)


How many days after Easter is pentecost Sunday?

Pentecost Sunday is 49 days after Easter Sunday. Some say that Pentecost Sunday is 50 days after Easter Sunday. Indeed, the word Pentecost is derived from the Latin and Greek words meaning fiftieth. However, the period is 50 days long only when both Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday are included in the count, which disagrees with the common response to how many days after one date is another. This is totally understandable considering that the ancient Romans used to count days that way. For example, we would say that March 14 is the day before the ides of March, but they referred to it as the second day before the ides of March. Given the modern interpretation of the terminology, stating that Pentecost is 50 days after Easter is like stating that tomorrow is two days after today.
