In Christianity, Pentecost is the celebration of the Holy Spirit descending on the Apostles fifty days after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The apostles were gathered together to celebrate an originally Jewish feast of Pentecost (Acts 2). Pentecost means fiftieth, as in the fiftieth day. Pentecost was the fiftieth day after Passover. It occurred during the Jewish Festival of Weeks, which was seven weeks after Passover.

7 weeks x 7 days = 49 days
The 50th day marked the celebration of Pentecost.

Here is what happened to the Apostles on Pentecost according to Acts 2:

"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability." (Acts 2:1-4)
