What is Ascension Day?
Ascension of Christ by Garofalo, 1520
The
Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord (colloquially known as Ascension Thursday or Ascension Day) is one of the great solemnities in the Christian liturgical calendar, and commemorates the bodily ascension of Jesus into heaven. Ascension Day is traditionally celebrated on a Thursday, the fortieth day of
Easter (39 days after
Easter Sunday). However, some Roman Catholic provinces have moved the observance to the following Sunday. The feast is one of the ecumenical feasts (i.e., universally celebrated), ranking with the feasts of the Passion, of Easter, and
Pentecost.
In Western Christianity, the earliest possible date is April 30th, the latest possible date is June 3rd.
Ascension Day is a holiday in many European countries, but not in the United Statest, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. In Germany it coincides with
Father's Day.
