ASCENSION and PENTECOST

Today we celebrated the Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ - 40 days after Easter Day - marking the conclusion of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances and his ascension into heaven.

In another 10 days it will be Pentecost, which will bring to conclusion the Great 50 Days of Easter. To learn more about Pentecost, you are invited to check out this video from Acts8Movement.org:
