∙ 12y ago
The 'Maltese' Pentecost is the Christian Pentecost and takes place fifty days after Easter, which originally coincided with the Passover. Acts of the Apostles says that on the day of Pentecost, everyone that was in the upper room, was filled with the Holy Spirit coming down on them as tongues of fire and the began to speak in tongues as the spirit gave them the utterance. There are parallels to the earlier account in the story of the Christian Pentecost, which was probably inspired by the Jewish Pentecost.

How long after Pentecost was Stephen stoned to death?
Acts ofthe Apostles tells us that Pentecost occurred fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus, but is unclear as to exacly when Stephen was stoned to death. However, it is quite possible that neither event was really historical.The Jews had celebrated a Pentecost since the second century BCE and there are parallels of timing and content between the Jewish Pentecost and the story of the Christian Pentecost, which seems to have been inspired by the Jewish Pentecost. Also, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen. With both events unlikely to have really happened, there is no real answer to this question.

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.

When was first Pentecost?
The problem here is that the first pentecost occurred a few months after Jesus' death and resurrection and the precise year of this is uncertain within the span of a year or two...sometime between AD 32 and 33. The disciples had been told by Christ to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. When the day came, they were all gathered together , including Mattias as a replacement for Judas, when suddenly the sound of a rushing wind came from heaven and flaming tongues descended on each of them. It was at that moment they were each filled with the Holy Spirit, and marked the formal, public beginning of the Church. You can find the account of the first pentecost in Acts 2.So the answer to your question specifically is that the first pentecost was in the year of Jesus death and resurrection, AD 32 or 33.
