The feast or festival of Pentecost was the second of three great festivals for Israel. This festival was also called the Feast of Weeks and occurred seven complete weeks or fifty days after Passover. It was on the day of Pentecost that the Holy Spirit spoken of by Christ came upon the disciples with cloven tongues of fire and a mighty wind. It was also the day that Peter preached to many people and many of them believed that day and were brought into the "new" church. People (Jews) were in Jerusalem on this Feast of Weeks festival from all over the know world as Pentecost was one of the Jewish festival days that required their presence in Jerusalem. So many heard the Gospel that day and when these people returned to their own country they took the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them to tell other folks about Jesus. God does not waste a moment and clearly chose this day so that peoples from all over the know world would get a chance to hear the Gospel.
