The Christian church split 1054 into the Eastern and the Western, which was then to become the Roman Catholic church. Actually, the Church was founded on Pentecost Sunday about the year 33 AD when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and inspired them to begin evangelizing. We do not know when the word 'Catholic Church' was first spoken but it first appears in the writings on St. Ignatius of Antioch in the year 106 AD. When the Church split in 1054 the West kept the name Catholic while the East became known as the Orthodox.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe greatest feast of the liturgical year is Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ raising from the dead and the completion of His great sacrifice to effect our salvation. The greatest feast is considered to be Pentecost which marks the birth of the Church. Without the descent of the Holy Spirit, the Church would have died out or never really had a start. Easter would follow closely followed by Christmas
Easter is the second most important day of the Church year. The most important feast day is Pentecost. Had there been no Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles, the Church would never have gotten off the ground. Pentecost is considered the birthday of the Church. So Easter and Pentecost are both important feast days in the Catholic Church.
