Ascension of the Lord
- Feast day
- May 25
Life
The Ascension celebrates Christ's bodily ascent into heaven forty days after Easter, witnessed by the apostles on the Mount of Olives, where he now sits at the right hand of the Father. It marks the completion of his earthly mission and his promise to send the Holy Spirit, and it directs the hope of the Church toward his return in glory.
The saint of the day, every day
Bosko shows you the saint the Church honors today, every day — their story, today's feast, and where they fall in your tradition's liturgical calendar, so a feast that matters to you never quietly slips past.
