"Goode men and woymen, as ȝe knowen wele all, þys day ys called Whitsonday, for bycause þat þe Holy Gost as þys day broȝt wyt and wysdome ynto all Cristes dyscyples." -- John Mirk (circa 1382–1414), "De Dominica Pentecostes Sermo Breus ad Parochianos" (found via Wikipedia, which first cites more plausible etymologies for this name of the holiday, mainly a
whole lot of people wearing white on this day)

[Note: if one character fails to display properly in two places, it'll be a yogh, which should look kinda like a three or an ezh. There are also four thorns, which will probably be displayed correctly. In modern typography and spelling, it would read, "Good men and women. as ye all know well, this day is called Whitsunday, for because that the Holy Ghost has this day brought wit and wisdom unto all Christ's disciples." In any case, to my friends celebrating Whitsunday/Pentecost today, blessings on you! Guitarists and recording engineers might also want to mark the birthday of Les Paul (b. 1915-06-09, d. 2009-08-12)]
