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