I didn't learn about the Day of Pentecost in my particular tradition. It is not that I didn't know what the Day of Pentecost was. It is just that it wasn't celebrated or even discussed all that much.

I find it odd because it was such a significant day in Christianity. I think the discussion was avoided in my particular area because Holiness and Church of God people considered themselves Pentecostal and the similarity in the word Pentecost and Pentecostal were too similar. Non Pentecostal traditions such as the one I grew up in didn't want to mention the day of Pentecost because it made it sound like we were the wrong version of Christianity.

I didn't vote in the poll because I really never used either term. However Pentecost is most familiar to me.. I don't know what Whit Sunday is. I never heard it until now.

seems in Germany it is more important than in England and the US.

In Germany it is more popular, maybe because like Christmas and Easter there are two public holidays for it.

And then there is the Pfingstkönig or Whitsun King, a mysterious old custom.
