In John 20:22, Jesus breathed on the disciples and said (KJV), "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." Only St. Thomas missed out, because he was not present. This occurred on the evening of the day of Jesus' resurrection.
In Acts of the Apostles, which belongs to a different tradition, Jesus remained on earth for forty days and was seen by many. Then, before rising up bodily to heaven, he told the disciples to remain in Jerusalem and wait to receive the Holy Ghost. This happened soon after, on the day of Pentecost.
