According to Ambrosian tradition, particularly in the liturgy proper of the Cathedral Church, the Solemnity of Pentecost, like Christmas and Epiphany, is introduced by a great vigil celebration.

The Mass is included in the Vespers Prayer: after the Lucernary and the Vespers Hymn, four readings from the First Testament are proclaimed, followed by the Epistle (taken from the First Letter to the Corinthians) and the Gospel page from John (16,5-14), with the promise of the gift of the Spirit. After Communion, Vespers concludes with the singing of the Magnificat.
