Pfingsten, also known as Pentecost, is a Christian holiday that celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. It is observed on the 50th day after Easter Sunday, which falls on May 25th in 2025.
The word “Pfingsten” comes from the German word “pentecoste,” which means “fiftieth.” This refers to the fact that Pentecost is celebrated 50 days after Easter. The holiday has been celebrated by Christians since the early days of the church, and it is one of the most important feasts in the Christian calendar.
