Ascension in Updated
Ascension HistoryThe Observance of Ascension, also known as Ascension Day or Feast of the Ascension, is a religious event for Christians in New Zealand. This day serves to commemorate Jesus Christ's physical ascent into Heaven, as described in the Bible. This event marks the conclusion of Jesus' earthly ministry and the beginning of the Church's mission to spread the Gospel, inspired by the Holy Spirit. The history of Ascension can be traced back to the New Testament, where the event is detailed in the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. According to these accounts, after Jesus' resurrection from the dead, He appeared to His followers for forty days before being taken up into Heaven before their eyes. Early Christians started celebrating the Ascension as early as the 4th century, and it has since become an important event in the Christian liturgical calendar. In New Zealand, as in other Christian countries, the Observance of Ascension takes place on a Thursday, forty days after Easter Sunday. The timing of Ascension Day varies annually as it depends on the date of Easter, which is itself determined by the lunar calendar. This event often includes religious activities such as special church services, prayers, and hymns, to emphasize the significance of Jesus' ascent into Heaven. Ascension facts
