Pentecost

=== Rosalia ===
{{further|Rosalia (festival)#Rose Sundays}}
A popular tradition arose in both west and east of decorating the church with roses on Pentecost, leading to a popular designation of Pentecost as {{lang-la|Festa Rosalia}} or "Rose Feast"; in Greek this became {{lang|el|ρουσάλια}} ({{transliteration|el|rousália}}).<ref name="byzcatharchpittspent">{{cite web |author=<!--Staff writers, no byline--> |title=Byzantine Catholics and the Feast Of Pentecost: "Your good Spirit shall lead me into the land of righteousness.
