SHAVOUT, occurring on Sivan 6, is 50 days after the Hebrew calendar day Nisan 16.
Note the 40 days of lent has its roots in paganism, which was originally a 40-day period of weeping for Babylonian sun god, Tammuz. This practice is not Biblical.
Shavout represents a new revelation of God's will, the giving of God's Law. Leviticus 23:21 states that it will be a statute forever.
About 1491 BC, God gave the 10 Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai on the holy day of Shavout (Exodus 19 - 20).
Tradition says that during the night of Shavout, Heaven opens up for a brief instant, and men keep a vigil of study that evening, perhaps in hopes of seeing it.
About 33 AD, God sent the Holy Spirit on Shavout (Pentecost) thereby writing the Law on human hearts and empowering the Church to accomplish His will on Earth (2 Cor 3:3, Heb 8:10, 10:16).
Paul continues observing Shavout after Christ's ascension (Acts 20;16, 24:11, 16:8).
