Ascension day service
The Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ, also called Ascension Day, Ascension Thursday, or sometimes Holy Thursday, commemorates the Christian belief of the bodily Ascension of Jesus into heaven. It is one of the ecumenical (i.e., universally celebrated) feasts of the Christian faith. Ascension Day is traditionally celebrated on a Thursday, the fortieth day of Easter following the accounts given in Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51 and Acts 1:2.
