The feast of the Ascension, held forty days after Easter, celebrates the day when Our Blessed Lord ascended into heaven after the resurrection, see Luke 24: 50-53. Some dioceses move it from its proper Thursday to the nearest Sunday in an effort to get more people to attend that Mass as it is a holy day of Obligation, and always falls on a Thursday.
