The Ascension of Jesus Christ takes place many days after His ressurection, or 'Easter'. According to The Bible He was seen by many people, including His disciples during the 40 days after His ressurection. At the end of the 40 days He ascended to Heaven in full view of the disciples.
After Easter, Christians believe that Jesus ascended into heaven to be with God. This event is known as the Ascension of Jesus.
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus and is on a fixed date. Easter recognizes the crucifixion of Jesus and His ascension into heaven. Its date is not fixed.
When is Ascension celebrated in the Catholic church.
Jesus ascended to heaven 40 days after his resurrection. In the meantime, he appeared to the apostles, several close female disciples and hundreds of other people.
According to Acts 1:1-3, Jesus instructed the apostles for forty days between the resurrection and His ascension.
The Ascension of Jesus is traditionally believed to have occurred 40 days after His resurrection, which is celebrated on Easter Sunday. This event is described in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Acts (1:9-11), where it is stated that Jesus was taken up into heaven in the presence of His disciples. The specific date of the Ascension varies each year, as it is linked to the date of Easter, but it is generally observed on a Thursday, known as Ascension Day.
The answer is Pentecost.Forty days after Easter, Catholics celebrate the Ascension of Jesus into heaven, where, they believe, he reigns with his Father. Then, ten days later, they keep the feast of Pentecost - their own transformation of the Jewish feast that honors the divine gift of the Torah.
Ascension Day actually falls 40 days after Easter, but it is celebrated on the Sunday 6 weeks after Easter.
The 40 days before Easter are called Lent.
Ascension Thursday is 40 days after Easter because Jesus left 40 days after He resurrected, and Pentecost Sunday is 10 days after Ascension Thursday because the Holy Spirit filled Jesus' disciples 10 days after He left. (So the gift of the Holy Spirit was 50 days after the Resurrection.)
The Ascention Day was when Jesus supposedly came back to life and announced himself to the world, and is several weeks after Easter. N-one is sure of the exact year or day, but it is thought to be sometime around the beginning of AD(after Death)/end of BC(before Christ).
