Ing, This holiday, 'shich is also called chs Feast
of Weeks, is celebrated for two roasons: In
tho first place, because the ohlldron of Israel on
This day oelsbrhtod tho riponing OF their hnr-
| yosts. On tho first day Of Pesnch {Easter) the
old Israoltoa used to bring sacrifices Of unrlpo
fruits, and continued to do 10 fot sercn woelis,
until tho 9Th day Of sivan or the third month,
whom the harvest WAS ready, mud the celebration
Of 6hebaoth, tho feaab week, took place. In
the second placo, this festival is celebrated
because Oh this day tho revelation on Sinai
took place, and tho Ten Command
ments wero promulgated through Moses.
Because fruits wore considered Ripe On thla day,
therefore lsraolites select 1t for tho confirmation
OF those who have ripenod for q communion
with tho faith, and therefore the beautiful cero-
mony Of confirmation took placo in all the Ho-
brew syuagogues in tlla city.
