* Пожалуйста, будьте
аккуратны с нижеследующими статьями: в них легко запутаться. Общее примечание к
статьям, начинающимся на Whit-, а также к другим, подобным:
Все эти слова на Whit- – реалии
ихней, английской жизни, и если православные праздники не совпадают с
английскими, то тем хуже для первых. Невозможно сказать Orthodox Whitsunday
(можно только в кавычках, как можно сказать "Лондон – это такой Париж"),
потому что Whitsunday – это один-единственный, уникальный день в году. К
счастью для православных англичан, английские праздники, приобретя новые, ранее
народные, – а теперь уже "общенародные" – имена, не потеряли старых
(Easter – печальное исключение). Поэтому, если переводить с
русского/православного, то надо брать слово Pentecost и ни в коем случае не
Whitsunday. Подобных слов довольно много: Candlemas, Christmas, и др.
Короче говоря, у праздников надо
различать денотат (конкретный день в конкретном году) и сигнификат (что этот праздник отмечает). Candlemas,
Christmas, и т. п. имеют только денотат, другие – типа the Conception – и
то, и другое. Это сильно влияет на устройство статьи. (Это просто тезисы,
которые я постараюсь изложить яснее, если будет время).
Whit Sunday -- the 7th Sunday after Easter Day, also
known as Pentecost. In
the Christian Church it commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit. The name
means "white Sunday", thought to be an allusion to the white
baptismal garments once worn on this day. The following day, Whit Monday, is a holiday in Britain. The whole period,
beginning with the Saturday before Whit Sunday and extending until the
following Saturday, is known as Whitsuntide, or in modern times more simply as Whitsun.

Whitsunday -- the Feast of the Descent of the Holy
Spirit upon the Apostles on the 50th day after Easter (see Pentecost). It
ranks, after Easter, as the second festival of the Church. In the W. the Vigil
of Pentecost soon became a secondary date for Baptisms, with a ceremony
resembling that of the Paschal Vigil Service. The association of the Vigil with
Baptism survived in the RC Church until 1955.
It begins on the first Sunday in
Advent. Sundays have traditionally been numbered through Advent, after Christmas
and after Epiphany, through Lent, after Easter, and after Whitsunday or Trinity Sunday.
EB: As early as the 5th cent.,
baptisms were administered at Pentecost to those unable to be initiated at
Easter, and a vigil rite was developed comparable to that of the Pascha. The
Anglo-Saxons called the feast Whit Sunday
(Whitsunday), from the white garment
bestowed upon the newly baptised. The term Whitsunday has been customary in the Anglican
churches since the First Prayer Book of Edward VI.
