Pentecoste (in greco antico: πεντηκοστή [ἡμέρα], pentēkostḗ [hēméra], «cinquantesimo [giorno]») è una festa cristiana in cui viene celebrata l'effusione dello Spirito Santo, dono di Gesù, e la nascita della Chiesa. Cade nel cinquantesimo giorno a partire dal giorno di Pasqua compreso (da cui il nome), di domenica, vale a dire alla fine della settima settimana dopo quella pasquale, ed è quindi una festa mobile, dipendente dalla data della Pasqua. Festeggia soprattutto l'inizio del raccolto, poi come secondo significato si festeggia il dono della legge. Pentecoste è inoltre l'antico nome greco della festività ebraica di Shavuot, che rappresenta una festa di ringraziamento.
