Christians did not invent the phrase “fiftieth day.” Rather, they
borrowed it from Greek-speaking Jews who used the phrase to
refer to a Jewish holiday. This holiday was known as the Festival of
Weeks, or, more simply, Weeks (Shavuot in Hebrew).

Shavuot was the second great feast in Israel’s yearly cycle of
holy days. It was originally a harvest festival (Exod 23:16), but, in

Mt. Sinai.
