Whitsun: remembers the Holy Spirit coming to the apostles.

Also in May 2027: International Day of Light (16 May), Eid al-Adha (16 May) and Teachers’ Day (Malaysia) (16 May). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s seven weeks after Easter Sunday.
Good to know
Western churches use the Gregorian computus for Easter; Orthodox churches use the Julian one.
