The Ascension of Christ is His final physical departure from this world after the resurrection. It is the formal completion of His mission in this world as the Messianic Savior. The ascension itself is not to be understood as though it were simply the supernatural event of a man floating up and away into the skies. The holy scripture stresses Christ’s physical departure and His glorification with God the Father, together with the great joy which His disciples had as they received the promise of the Holy Spirit Who was to come to assure the Lord’s presence with them, enabling them to be His witnesses to the ends of earth. The celebration of the feast of Ascension will be this Wednesday evening, June 5th at 7:00 p.m. with Vespers and Litiya and then on Thursday, June 6th at 9:00 a.m. with Divine Liturgy. Join us!
