The Ascension of Jesus
Jesus' ascension, which took place on May 12, 33, on the Mount of Olives, brings his earthly ministry to a close. Lifted up in a cloud, he is welcomed into the Father's presence while two angels announce his glorious return. This event, recounted only by Luke, marks the transition to Christ's heavenly ministry and grounds the early Church's eschatological hope as it awaits the parousia.
