Oops, it's the 49th DAY I was aiming for. Sorry, got that all mucked  
up. This is what the wiki says about Pentecost

	Pentecost (Ancient Greek: . . .   . . .pentekostē [hēmera], "the
	fiftieth day") is one of the prominent feasts in the Christian
	liturgical year, celebrated on the 49th day (7 weeks) after Easter
	Sunday - or the 50th day inclusively, hence its name. Pentecost
	falls on the tenth day after Ascension Thursday. Historically and
	symbolically related to the Jewishharvest festival of Shavuot or
	the day, fifty days after the Exodus, on which God gave the Ten
	 Commandments at Mount Sinai, Pentecost now also
	commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles
	and other followers of Jesusas described in the Book of Acts,
	Chapter 2 in the New Testament. Pentecost is also called
	Whitsun, Whitsunday,Whit Sunday, Whitsuntide or Whitty
	Sunday, especially in the United Kingdom. King Arthur
	gathered all his knights at the round table for a feast and a
	quest on Pentecost.

In the year 1964, Easter Sunday fell on March 29th, so Pentecost would  
have been May 17 [18].
