Paschaltide is probably best researched on the web using 2 words, Paschal Tide (though some traditions typically spell it as one word). It's formal, detailed meaning has changed over time and among the various churches calling themselves "catholic" (Roman, Orthodox, Anglican, etc.). In general, it is a reference to the calendar, a particular span of days, in and around Easter. The term Paschal is applied to the New Moon called Paschal Moon, the appearance of which is used to determine Passover and Easter. Specific details on what Paschaltide meant in the Middle Ages, what it means today, and in which church, are best addressed to the specific churches involved as they use the term.

Who started pentecostal churches?
That would be the Holy Ghost... Pente means 50, the Holy Ghost was poured out on the 50th day as it was prophesied in the Old Testament.Acts 2King James Version1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.The answers above, based on the Christian Bible are accurate in what Pentecost means "The Fiftieth Day" and how the Pentecost Church and religion derived their name, however, the scripture above does not state the beginning of the Pentecostal Church nor the Religion.Pentecost: "the fiftieth day" is a prominent feast in the calendar of ancient Israel celebrating the giving of the Law on Sanai, and also later in the "Christian liturgical year" commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Twelve Apostles of Christ. In the Eastern churches, Pentecost can also refer to the fifty ays between Easter and Pentecost, hence the book containing the liturgical text for Paschaltide is called the Pentecostarion.On the day of Pentecost (literally) means on the fiftieth day and has no reference to the Pentecostal Church or the religion of Pentecostalism.Pentecostalism is actually a very young religion by many standards. Pentecostalism is a renewal movement with in Christianity that places special emphasis on a direct personal experience of God through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Greek names of the Jewish Feast of Weeks. For Christians this event commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the followers of Jesus Christ, as described in the book of Acts.The first Pentecostals were radical adherents of the Holiness Movement. These early 20th Century Christians were energized by revivalism and expectation for the imminent Second Coming of Christ. Believing they were living in the End Times.In 1900, Charles Parham, an American evangelist and faith leader, began teaching that speaking in tongues was the Bible evidence of Spirit baptism. The three-year long "Azusa Street Revival" in Los Angeles, California, resulted in the spread of Pentecostalism throughout the United States and the rest of the world as visitors carried the Pentecostal experience back to their home churches or felt called to the mission field.Ergo the actual "Day of Pentecost" as described in the book of Acts has nothing to do with the Pentecost Church or Pentecostalism, rather that they get their name from the event.So all in all, it was Charles Parham who began the Pentecostal Church (in effect) and the religion of Pentecostalism in approximately 1903, many many years after the actual "Day of Pentecost" described in the book of Acts.
What is Ordinary Time in the liturgical year?
Ordinary time is the time on the church (liturgical) calendar that does not encompass the other seasons of the church year such as Advent and Lent. It is a time to focus on God's movement and rythmns in the ordinary seasons of our life.The Catholic liturgical year runs concurrently with the civil year. ("Liturgical year" means the annual cycles of feast and observances.) Actually, there are three cycles in the Catholic church. There is the three year cycle for Sunday Mass readings, the two year cycle for the weekday Mass readings, and the annual cycle of liturgical seasons and feast days.The liturgical seasons are Advent (the weeks leading up to Christmas), Christmastide (which continues through Epiphany), Lent (the weeks of preparation for Easter), the Easter season or Paschaltide (the weeks from Easter to Pentecost). These times are marked by special prayers and observances.The rest of the year is called Ordinary Time.These are the weeks from after Epiphany until Ash Wednesday (which begins Lent) and from after Pentecost until Advent. There are still feastdays and holidays during this time, but it is not considered a particular liturgical season.Ordinary Time refers to the time in the liturgical calendar when the Church is not in one of the special seasons of the year, such as Advent, Christmas, Lent or Easter.
