Ascension Day also known as the Feast of
Ascension is one of the important Christian
festivals celebrated in all over the world.
This day marks the last appearance of Lord
Jesus Christ to his followers after His
resurrection at Easter.
Ascension Day falls on the Thursday, exactly
40 days after the Easter. The name
'Ascension' comes from the accounts in the
Bible where it is mentioned that the Jesus
was taken up into heaven – He ascended.
On this day the Christians celebrate the
kingship of the Jesus.
It is believed that during the 40 days
following his resurrection, the Jesus
appeared to many of his disciples and told
them that He would always be with them and
promised them the gift of the Holy Spirit.
After saying this, the Jesus was taken up
into heaven and took his seat at the right
hand of God. |
