After Pentecost
==After Pentecost==
The Monday after Pentecost is the '''Feast of the Holy Spirit''' in the Orthodox Church, and the Sunday after Pentecost is the [[Pentecostarion#Sunday_of_All_Saints|Feast of All Saints]].  Even though the start of the [[Church Calendar|Church year]] is considered to start in September, the liturgical center of the annual cycle of Orthodox worship is the feast of Pascha, preceded by [[Great Lent]], and [[Lenten Triodion|pre-lent]], and followed by the [[Pentecostarion|fifty days of paschal celebration]] until the feast of Pentecost. Until the start of the next Great Lent, the Sundays and weeks following Pentecost, are numbered from Pentecost. Liturgical readings and hymns will be based on the "weeks after Pentecost" as listed in the [[Octoechos]], [[Apostolos]], and Lectionary arranged [[Gospel Book|Gospel]].
