About the event
Please include children 2 & over when booking your places.
The Feast of Weeks - Pentecost (Greek), Shavuot (Hebrew) - was the time to present an offering to the Lord of new grain from the summer wheat harvest.
It expresses joy and thankfulness for the Lord’s blessing of the harvest.
Also called Matan Torah (giving of the Law), is believed to be the date that God gave Moses the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is this festival that Jesus' disciples were celebrating when God poured out the Holy Spirit (Acts 2).
Interesting facts:
· Special foods for this holiday are dairy foods, such as cheesecake and cheese blintzes, because the Law is compared to milk and honey.
