Ascension Day

Easter
The continuation of the event celebrated. The festival commemorates Christ's eventual ascension to heaven after his resurrection and exhortation to his disciples. Theologically speaking, ascension means the end of the period of manifestation of the risen Christ to his disciples. These apparitions, detailed in the Gospels and vaguely mentioned in the New Testament epistles, followed the resurrection. The ascension shows the importance of the theme of "ascension," in which Jesus is seen as having ascended to the right hand of God.

As early as 400 AD, it was celebrated on a Sunday 40 days after Easter.
Therefore, Ascension Day (also translated as Ascension Day) is one of the oldest Christian holidays. According to the Catholic Church, this ascension means "the final entry of the human Jesus into the glorious world of God." Before 1965, churches had a custom on this day to use a rope to pull a statue of Jesus through a hole above the church during Mass. This custom was dispensed with by a church rule. Has been forgotten. But in some places churches still do this, though no longer pulling the image of Jesus out through a hole, but always in a way that makes it disappear from the altar.
Ascension Day is always set on the Thursday 40 days after Easter Sunday. The Bible says, "After suffering, he showed the apostles by many proofs that He was alive." Over the course of 40 days, he appeared to them repeatedly and told them about the kingdom of God." This experience appears both in the Gospel of Luke and in the apostolic story written by Luke. The Apostolic story says that on the third day of his passion, Jesus rose from the dead, and after speaking to his disciples, He rose before their eyes, and a cloud carried him up until he was out of their sight.
In some areas, young girls had earlier joined in the Ascension celebrations. They got up early and went out, dancing barefoot on the still wet grass. It is said that this can keep them beautiful and healthy. Then they gather herbs, weave them into garlands and hang them around the room to ward off disease and injury. Ascension Day falls on a Thursday, so farmers in some parts of the country believe that it is important to pay special attention to the weather conditions on this day, whether it is raining or sunny (Thursday is Donnerstag in German, Donner means "thunder, thunder"). They all prayed for a good harvest. Therefore, there is a farmer's proverb that probably means: what day Ascension is, what autumn is like.
