FEAST OF WEEKS.

The festival of Shabuoth, or Feast
of Weeks. which this year falls on
the 18th of May, was one of the three
ancient Jewish harvest festivals, as
we'll as one of the three annual occa-

the Temple, when the latter was
standing and the Jews lived in their
own land. The holiday is called the
Feast OF Weeks because it occurs
seven weeks after Passover, just as
the Christian Pentecost, which is OF
cognate origin, comes 80 days after
Easter.
