Calendar of Exodus & Giving of Law on Sinai,
Christ's crucifixion & Resurrection,
& Pentecost & Giving of Holy Spirit

Counting Pentecost in 2006 on the Roman (Solar) and Hebrew (Lunar-Solar) calendar and in 31 A.D. on the Hebrew calendar:
Holy Spirit given to New Testament Church at Pentecost (Acts 1 & 2);
In Old Testament tradition and Scriptures reveal the Law & Covenant were given to Israel at Mt. Sinai on Pentecost after the Exodus (Ex 19:1,16).
In the New Testament, Jesus was crucified on Passover, Wednesday evening the 14th of Nisan and rose 3 days later on Saturday evening.

* New moon - beginning of month

** Scriptures reveal the Law was given in the 3rd month (Sivan) 3 days after the "same day" of the week (Thursday, the 5th day) that Israel began their Exodus (Ex 12:41-4219:1,11,15-20; 20:1-18). The Exodus began on the 15th of Nisan (Abib - Ex 13:4), the day after the Passover. The count to Pentecost began 3 days later, Sunday the first day of the week, the day of the Wave Sheaf offering . The Law was given on Mt. Sinai 7 weeks and 1 day (50 days) after the wave sheaf offering. Since Pentecost is always on Sunday, this indicates Passover (14th Nisan) was on Wednesday that year, the same day of the week that Jesus was crucified in the year 27 A.D. He arose 3 days later and then ascended to heaven the following day, the 1st day of the week (John 2:1,17), as the wave sheaf offering. Therefore Pentecost when the Law of the covenant was given occurred on the 8th day of Sivan that year (not the 6th as the Pharisees presumed), which was the same day of the week the Holy Spirit was given in 27 A.D. beginning the New Testament Church (Acts 2:1-4).
