The **Season of Apostles** (also known by various Syriac [transliterations](/source/Transliteration), such as **Slihe** and **Shleehe**) is a [liturgical season](/source/Liturgical_season) in [East Syriac Christianity](/source/East_Syriac_Rite). The season begins with the feast of [Pentecost](/source/Pentecost) and continues for seven weeks.[1] The season starts on June 30 and the feast of the [12 apostles](/source/Apostles_in_the_New_Testament) is on June 30.[2] It also marks the half of a year according to the [Gregorian Calendar](/source/Gregorian_calendar). It is followed by the [Season of Summer](/source/Season_of_Summer_(liturgy)).

The season is so named because it commemorates the missionary activities of the [apostles](/source/Apostles_in_the_New_Testament) of Jesus after the events of Pentecost.

The following feasts are fixed to certain days in the Season of Apostles:[3][4]

- Friday after Pentecost: [Friday of Gold](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Friday_of_Gold&action=edit&redlink=1)

- Friday after the Seventh Sunday of Apostles: The [Seventy Disciples of Jesus](/source/Seventy_disciples)

The season ends with the Feast of the [Twelve Apostles](/source/Apostles_in_the_New_Testament) on the First Sunday of [Summer](/source/Season_of_Summer_(liturgy))
