The "Ascension of Christ" refers to the event in Christian belief when Jesus Christ rose into heaven after his resurrection. This event is described in the New Testament, particularly in the books of Luke and Acts. It is said to have occurred forty days after Easter, marking the end of his earthly ministry. During the Ascension, Jesus is believed to have been taken up in a cloud, symbolizing his divine nature and authority. This event is significant in Christianity as it signifies the completion of his work on earth and the promise of his return, offering hope to believers.
