On this day - 51 days after Easter, the Orthodox Church celebrates Whit Monday or Monday of the Holy Spirit. Every year the feast of the Holy Spirit is marked on Monday and is connected in meaning with the celebration of the previous day - Pentecost. On the fiftieth day of Christ's Resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles and gave them gracious gifts. On the Monday after Pentecost, the Orthodox Church celebrates the Holy Life-Giving Trinity- The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
