"Pentecost was originally an Old Testament festival, since the time of
Josephus calculated as beginning on the fiftieth day after the
beginning of Passover. In the Christian calendar, it falls on the
seventh Sunday after Easter."

So, Pentecost is actally the 49th day (7 Sundays) AFTER Easter:  1
Sunday (Easter) PLUS 49 days (the 7th following Sunday).

7 in numerology relates to spirituality, so 7x7 is spirituality
squared!  A very holy number.
