Event information

Whit Sunday church service in the parish church in St. Gilgen.

Whitsun is the name used in the UK for the Christian festival of Pentecost which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Christ's disciples. It falls on the seventh Sunday after Easter, 49 days after Easter Sunday. It is a prominent feast in the calendar of ancient Israel celebrating the giving of the Law on Sinai. This feast is celebrated in Judaism as Shavuot. Pentecost is sometimes described by Christians today as the "Birthday of the Church“.
