<P> In Eastern Christianity, Pentecost can also refer to the entire fifty days of Easter through Pentecost inclusive; hence the book containing the liturgical texts for Paschaltide is called the "Pentecostarion". Since its date depends on the date of Easter, Pentecost is a moveable feast . </P> <P> The holy day is also called "White Sunday" or "Whitsunday", especially in the United Kingdom, where traditionally the next day, Whit Monday, was also a public holiday (now fixed by statute on the last Monday in May). In Germany Pentecost is denominated of "Pfingsten" and often coincides with scholastic holidays and the beginning of many outdoor and springtime activities, such as festivals and organized outdoor activities by youth organizations . The Monday after Pentecost is a legal holiday in many European nations . </P> <P> The term Pentecost comes from the Greek Πεντηκοστή (Pentēkostē) meaning "fiftieth" (50th). It refers to the festival celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover, also known as the "Feast of Weeks" in the Septuagint and the "Feast of 50 days" in rabbinic tradition . </P> <P> The Septuagint uses the term Pentēkostē to refer to the "Feast of Pentecost" only twice, in the apocryphal Book of Tobit and 2 Maccabees . In Tobit 2: 1 Pentēkostē is used as an alternate name for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot . The NABRE translation of this passage reads: "on our festival of Pentecost, the holy feast of Weeks". The term is also used in 2 Maccabees 12: 32 . </P>
