The Jewish holiday of Shavuot, also known as Pentecost, is celebrated this year beginning at sundown Saturday, June 8 through Monday, June 10, 2019. This holiday is known by several other names, including the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of the Harvest. The celebration became known as Pentecost, which means 50 in Greek because it is observed 50 days after the celebration of Passover.
