Pentecost is always 7 weeks after Easter Sunday; that is, 49 days after Easter Sunday, or 50 days (if you include Easter Sunday in the count).

The Wikipedia article "Computus" (a) explains you the - fairly complicated - procedure to calculate Easter Sunday; and (b) lists the date for Easter Sunday, for several years before and after the current year.

What dates is pentecost in 2008?

I was asking this same question myself, and I have found the answer, and it is fascinating. In Leviticus 23:10-11 and 15-17, The Word of God explains the calculation for what we call Pentecost (the Greek word for 50) as counting 50 days from the Feast of First Fruits, which is the first day after the first Sabbath after Passover. However, contemporary Jewish practice is to celebrate this Pentecost(called the Feast of Weeks in Hebrew, not called Pentecost) 50 days after Passover. In fact, this year, if you count 50 days from the day after the first Sabbath after Passover, you go past June 9, the date published on the Hebrew calendar, and end up on June 16. June 9 is 50 days from Passover. Dr. Thomas McCall, a theologian, wrote an article about this with an explanation about the descrepency, and you can access it at http://www.levitt.com/essays/pentecost.html. I hope this helps you.


What year was the first pentecost in Acts 2?

The first Pentecost in Acts 2 occurred around 33 AD. This date is calculated based on the historical context provided in the Bible, particularly in relation to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The event of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, is considered by many scholars to have taken place during the Jewish festival of Pentecost, fifty days after Passover.
