Ascension Thursday is a special day for some Christians. It celebrates when they believe Jesus went up to heaven, or "ascended," after being on Earth. This event happened 40 days after Easter, which is when Christians celebrate Jesus coming back to life. Because the date of Easter changes every year, Ascension Thursday usually happens in May, not November. On this day, people might go to church to remember and honor this event. It's a way for Christians to think about Jesus' life and his teachings.
How to celebrate Ascension Thursday?
On Ascension Thursday, start your day with a special breakfast with your family. Then, you can all take a walk outside and talk about things you're thankful for. Draw or paint a picture of clouds or Jesus ascending to show what the day means to you. Attend a church service where you can sing songs and pray. At home, read a story from the Bible about Jesus with your family. In the evening, have a fun dinner with foods you love, and maybe watch a family-friendly movie. End the day by sharing what made the day special, and give thanks together.
