Midfeast of Pentecost is the midpoint of the fifty days between the Feasts of Pascha and Pentecost.
This is an ancient Christian feast already mentioned by St. John Chrysostom in his teachings. Unfortunately, the significance of this feast has been completely erased in popular piety, and people do not even tend to go to church and understand the service of this feast, which is very deep in its content and still very important according to the Church Statutes.
Mid-Pentecost, Troparion, Tone VIII —
Having come to the middle of the Feast, refresh my thirsty soul with the streams of piety; for Thou, O Saviour, didst cry to all: Let him who thirsts come to Me and drink. O Christ our God, Source of Life, glory to Thee.

On this day we remember an event from the life of the Savior, when on the Feast of Tabernacles in the Old Testament, He entered the church and taught. (John 7:14-36).
