THE FEAST OF THE ASCENSION
Forty Days after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Acts of the Apostles rec-
ords Jesus' ascension into heaven. The ascension is an important Christian
feast attesting and celebrating the reality of the God-Man Jesus Christ's return-
ing to the Father, to return again in the future Parousia. The Ascension is the
final component of the paschal mystery, which consists also of Jesus' Passion,
Crucifixion, Death, Burial, Descent Among the Dead, and Resurrection. Along
with the resurrection, the ascension functioned as a proof of Jesus' claim that
he was the Messiah. The Ascension is also the event whereby humanity was taken into heaven. Finally, the as-
cension was also the "final blow" so-to-speak against Satan's power, and thus the lion (Jesus) conquering the
dragon (Satan) is a symbol of the ascension. Early Christian art and iconography portrayed the ascension fre-
quently, showing its importance to the early Church.
The Catholic Catechism summarizes three important theological aspects (with which most Christian churches
agree) of the Ascension concisely:
Christ's Ascension marks the definitive entrance of Jesus' humanity into God's heavenly domain, whence he
will come again (cf. Acts 1:11); this humanity in the meantime hides him from the eyes of men (cf. Col 3:3).
Jesus Christ, the head of the Church, precedes us into the Father's glorious kingdom so that we, the members of
his Body, may live in the hope of one day being with him for ever.
Jesus Christ, having entered the sanctuary of heaven once and for all, intercedes constantly for us as the media-
tor who assures us of the permanent outpouring of the Holy Spirit (665-667).
Evidence from John Chrysostom, Egeria, Gregory of Nyssa, and Church historian Socrates, suggest that Ascen-
sion Day probably originated in the 4th century AD. However, Augustine says the festival is apostolic. Often
the feast was celebrated with a procession, symbolizing Christ's journey to the Mount of Olives. Until rather
recently, the Paschal Candle (lighted at the Easter Vigil) was extinguished on Ascension Day. It is often
celebrated as an octave, the proper preface and Ascension collect being used until the Saturday before
Pentecost. In many Catholic dioceses, the Ascension is celebrated on the 7th Sunday of Easter, which is the
Sunday following the traditional date. Likely, this is done to make it easier for the faithful to fulfill their
obligation to attend Mass on this day, but it removes the connection with the biblical chronology.

The Ascension of Our Lord الخميس(صعود الرب يسوع إلى السماء(
From the Acts of the Apostles, 1:1-14 فصل من أعمال الرسل
يا إخوتي،

Brothers and sisters, In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had cho-sen. After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them dur-ing forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. While staying with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for the promise of the Father. “This,” he said, “is what you have heard from me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” So, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” He replied, “It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, sud-denly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away. When they had entered the city, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying, Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. All these were constantly devoting themselves to prayer, together with certain women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as his brothers.
Praise be to God always!
From the Holy Gospel according to Saint Mark 16:15-20 إنجيل الدديس مرقس
قال مرقس البشير:
وهذه اآليات .فمن آمن وٱعتمد يخلص، ومن لم يؤمن فسوف يدا .قال الربحو يسوع لتالميذه: "إذهبوا إلى العالم كله، وٱكرزوا برإلنجيل للخليدة كلهاا مميتا فال يؤذيهم، ويضعو أيديهم على ش تتب المؤمنين: برسمي يخرجو الشياطين، ويتكلمو بلغات جديدة، ويمسكو الحيات، وإ ربوا سم
".المرضى فيتعافو بحو يسوع، رف إلى السماء، وجلس عن يمين ٱهلل بحو يعمل معهم ويؤيد الكلمة بما .وبعدما كلمهم ٱلر ا هم فخرجوا وكرزوا في كل مكا ، والر أم
يصحبها من اآليات..
واألما لجميعكم حداThe evangelist Mark writes,
Jesus said to his disciples, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So, then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied it. This is the truth! Peace be with you.
