What Whit Sunday marks
Whitsun is the name used in Britain, and among Anglicans and Methodists in other countries, for the Christian holy day of Pentecost. It falls on the seventh Sunday after Easter and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus' disciples. Whitsuntide, the week following Whitsunday, was one of three holiday weeks for the medieval villein; on most manors he was free from service on the lord's demesne this week, which marked a pause in the agricultural year. Whit Monday, the day after Whitsun, remained a holiday in Britain until 1972, when it was replaced by a Spring Bank Holiday on the last Monday in May.
