| About Ascension Thursday |
| Ascension of Jesus Christ is celebrated on 21st May. The Feast of the Ascension commemorates Jesus' ascension into heaven 40 days after his resurrection. The Christian church celebrates the ascension of Jesus annually on a Thursday, exactly forty days after the Easter Sunday and ten days before the Pentecost. The story of the Ascension of our Lord, celebrated as one of the Twelve Great Feasts of the Church, is found in the book of the Acts of the Apostles 1:3-11. Ascension of Jesus Christ is also mentioned in the Gospels of Mark (16:19) and Luke (24:50-53). The Christian doctrine of the Ascension holds that Jesus' body ascended to heaven in the presence of his apostles following his resurrection, and that in heaven he sits at the Father's right hand. Jesus died c 30. |
