Pentecost is celebrated 50 days (7 Sundays) after Easter. Pentecost will be May 27 in 2007.
Catholic actually celebrate Easter for all 50 days between Easter and Pentecost after fasting and praying for the 40 days of Lent.
God sent the Holy Spirit to the Apostles and disciples on Pentecost.
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim. (Acts 2:1-4)
With love in Christ.

Roman Catholics 1st Pope is ST. Peter "the Rock". As God`s 1 of 12 apostle, He had experience Himself the power of Pentecost (The Holy Spirit of God descended on them), so naturally, St Peter and the whole church revere that day and commemorates for the generations to know that special day.
