Ascension Day

26

May

Ascension Day is a special day for many Christians. It happens 40 days after Easter and celebrates the day when Jesus went up to heaven. According to the Bible, after Jesus rose from the dead on Easter, he spent time with his friends, teaching them. Then, on Ascension Day, he left Earth and went to be with God. People remember this day by going to church, having services, and sometimes even having picnics or gatherings. It's a way to remember Jesus' return to heaven and the promise that he would always be there for them in spirit.

How to celebrate Ascension Day?

Start your day with a special breakfast with family, sharing what makes you happy. Dress up nicely and go outside for a walk or a picnic in a park, enjoying the fresh air and nature. You can draw pictures or make crafts that show happiness and hope. Later, gather your family and share stories or play fun games together. If you want, say a small prayer of thanks. End the day with a yummy dinner and talk about the best parts of the day, sharing smiles and memories. It's all about spending happy and peaceful time with those you love.
