The Ascension of Jesus refers to the event in which Jesus Christ, after his resurrection, was taken up to heaven in the presence of his disciples. This event is described in the New Testament, particularly in the books of Luke and Acts. It is believed to have occurred 40 days after the resurrection, marking the end of Jesus' earthly ministry. During the Ascension, Jesus promised his disciples that they would receive the Holy Spirit and be empowered to spread his teachings. This event is significant in Christian theology as it signifies Jesus' exaltation and his return to the Father, affirming his divine nature and the hope of his eventual return.
