摘要：The article represents a research on the Pentecost, (Whitsuntide), in theRomanian contemporary society. The Christian holiday of Pentecost stands forthe Christian festival celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciplesof Jesus after his Ascension, held on the seventh Sunday after Easter. We haveresorted for this article to the meta-analytic research method, trying to studycarefully the perception that people have on the Pentecost. Although the feastrelies on religion, nowadays Romanian people feel more connected to the urbanenvironment, where the rituals have a commercial role. This the reason whyduring the feasts, the Romanian society leads a continuous fight between what isnew and what is old, intending to convince the city dwellers that the traditionalelements must remain pure. Tradition is the one that makes the connectionbetween the sacred and the profane.
