Numele Penticostarului, de la grecescul ''Pentikostarion'', i se trage tocmai de la perioada ale cărei cântări le cuprinde, numita [[Cincizecime]]. El conţine "cântările de veselie ale Învierii lui Hristos în care se vădeşte pretutindenea bucuria cea mare a creştinului".
==Paştile şi Săptămâna luminată==
Odată cu învierea întregii naturi din moartea de peste iarnă, odată cu bucuria ce însoţeşte trezirea la viaţă şi vieţuirea din belşug, Biserica se deşteaptă la o altă viaţă, se trezeşte la bucuria pricinuită de zdrobirea morţii prin învierea Mântuitorului, la bucuria împreună-locuirii cu Hristos în Sfântul Duh, pusă în lumină de întregul Penticostar.
Slujba de Paşti şi din toată săptămâna luminată reprezintă gândirea, simţirea şi peste tot trăirea cea mai înaltă pe care o cunoaşte Biserica Ortodoxă. Ortodoxia în cea mai înaltă cotă a ei se cuprinde în slujba de la Paşti şi din toată Săptămâna luminată. Slujba de la Paşti este culmea spiritualităţii ortodoxe.
==Duminica a doua după Paşti, a Sfântului Toma==
The Sunday after Easter is called the [[Sunday of St. Thomas|Second Sunday]]. It is the eighth day of the Paschal celebration and the last day of Bright Week. It is called the '''Antipascha'''. This Sunday is celebrated in remembrance of the appearance of Christ to the Apostle Thomas "after eight days".
The Church reminds the faithful who have not seen Christ with their physical eyes nor touched his risen body with their physical hands, yet in the Holy Spirit have seen and touched and tasted the Word of Life, and so they believe.
==Duminica a treia după Paşti, a femeilor mironosiţe==
[[Image:Myrrhbearing Women.jpg|thumbnail|The Holy Myrrhbearing Women]]
The third Sunday after Pascha is dedicated to the [[myrrhbearing women]] who cared for the body of Christ at his death and who were the first witnesses of his [[Resurrection]].
==Duminica a patra după Paşti, a slăbănogului (paraliticul)==
[[Image:Paralytic .jpg|thumbnail|left|The Paralytic]]
The fourth Sunday is dedicated to Christ's healing of the paralytic, from the Gospel of St John (5). The man is healed by Christ while waiting to be put down into the pool of water.
The Church reminds the faithful that through baptism in the church we, too, are healed and saved by Christ for eternal life. Thus, in the church, we are told, together with the paralytic, to sin no more that nothing worse befall you" (John 5:14).
===Joi în a patra săptămână după Paşti: Mid-feast of Pentecost===
Wednesday of the Fourth Week is called the feast of Mid-Pentecost, at which Christ, "in the middle of the feast" teaches men of his saving mission and offers to all "the waters of immortality", from the Gospel of St John (7:14).
Again the faithful are reminded of the Master's presence and his saving promise: "If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink" (John 7:37).
==Duminica a cincea după Paşti, a femeii samaritence==
[[Image:Samaritan Woman.JPG|thumbnail|right|The Samaritan Woman]]
The fifth Sunday after Easter deals with the woman of Samaria with whom Christ spoke at Jacob's Well from the Gospel of St John (4). Again the theme is the "living water" and the recognition of Jesus as God's Messiah (John 4:10-11; 25-26).
This is a reminded of new life in Christ, of drinking of the "living water," of true worship of God in the Christian messianic age "in Spirit and in Truth" (John 4:23-24). Salvation is offered to all: Jews and Gentiles, men and women, saints and sinners.
==Duminica a şasea după Paşti, a orbului din naştere==
[[Image:Blind Man.jpg|thumbnail|left|Healing the man blind from birth]]
The sixth Sunday commemorates the healing of the man blind from birth. The Gospel of St John(9) tells how Jesus used clay of spittle and told the man to wash in the waters of Siloam. He did so because it was the Sabbath day on which spitting, clay-making and washing were strictly forbidden. By breaking these ritual laws of the Jews, Jesus showed that he is indeed the Lord of the Sabbath, and, as such, that he is equal to God the Father Who alone, according to Jewish tradition, works on the Sabbath day in running his world.
A reminder that the Lord has anointed our eyes with his own divine hands and washed them with the waters of our baptism.
===Leavetaking of Pascha===
Pascha has its [[Leavetaking]] on the thirty-ninth day, Wednesday of the sixth week of Pascha. In some traditions, the services of the day are celebrated as on the day of Pascha itself, although the daily readings from Holy [[Scripture]] differ. After the [[Dismissal]] at the Liturgy, the paschal hymns are no longer sung, while the prayer "O Heavenly King" is not said or sung until [[Pentecost]]. The Winding Sheet ([[Epitaphios|Plaschanitsa]]) is taken from the [[altar]] and is put in its proper place.
===Înălţarea Domnului===
On the fortieth day after his passover, Jesus ascended into heaven to be glorified on the right hand of God. The [[Ascension]] of Christ is his final physical departure from this world after the resurrection. It is the formal completion of his mission in this world as the Messianic Saviour. It is his glorious return to the Father who had sent him into the world to accomplish the work that he had given him to do (John 17:4-5).
==Duminica a şaptea după Paşti, a Sfinţilor Părinţi de la Sinodul întâi ecumenic==
On the seventh Sunday of Pascha, we commemorate the holy God-bearing [[Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council]].
==Cincizecimea==
[[Pentecost]] is the fulfillment of the Christ's mission and the beginning of the messianic age of the Kingdom of God mystically present in this world in the Church of the Messiah. The fiftieth day stands as the beginning of the era which is beyond the limitations of this world, fifty being that number which stands for eternal and heavenly fulfillment in Jewish and Christian mystical piety: seven times seven, plus one.
==Duminica tuturor sfinţilor==
[[Image:All saints.jpg|thumbnail|right|All Saints]]
The Sunday following Pentecost is dedicated to All Saints, both those who are known to us, and those who are known only to God. There have been saints at all times, and they have come from every corner of the earth. They were [[Apostles]], [[Martyrs]], [[Prophets]], [[Hierarchs]], [[Monastics]], and [[Righteous]], yet all were perfected by the same [[Holy Spirit]].
The descent of the Holy Spirit makes it possible for us to rise above our fallen state and to attain sainthood, thereby fulfilling God's directive to "be holy, for I am holy" (Lev. 11:44, 1 Peter 1:16, etc.). Therefore, it is fitting to commemorate All Saints on the first Sunday after Pentecost.
==Duminica sfinţilor locali==
On the second Sunday after Pentecost, churches of Slavic tradition commemorate all the saints, known and unknown, who have shone forth in their territory.
Saints of all times, and in every country are seen as the fulfillment of God's promise to redeem fallen humanity. Their example encourages us to "lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us" and to "run with patience the race that is set before us" ([[Book of Hebrews|Hebrews]] 12:1).
