Christians around the world on June 6 celebrate an extremely important holiday - the Ascension of the Lord. It was on this day a little less than two thousand years ago that Jesus Christ finally ascended to Heaven in the presence of all his apostles.

history of the holiday

The Ascension of the Lord is the day when Christ ascended to heaven and sat down "to the right of the Father." After his resurrection, he appeared to his disciples, talked with them and taught them, ordered them to wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit. He ascended with his disciples to the Mount of Olives, where he blessed them for the last time and ascended into heaven.

Customs and traditions of the feast of the Ascension of the Lord

On this holiday, it is important to remember that Christ ascended to heaven with traces of suffering for our sins. According to tradition, this day is considered the full bloom of spring, its end and the onset of summer.

Our ancestors lit a big fire in the evening, symbolizing the flourishing of nature.

Many traditions and customs are associated with the feast of the Ascension of the Lord.

Our ancestors baked "special" pancakes for the holiday. They made them "on the path to Christ." These pancakes had many names: "Onuchki", "God's Okutka", "Christ's Little Paws".

It is believed that from the day of Easter until the Ascension of the Lord, the gates of heaven and hell are open. Until the very holiday, sinners in hell do not suffer, but can rejoice and rejoice with the righteous. Therefore, Ascension is considered a memorial day.

Ascension 2019 - congratulatory verses

To the Orthodox world
I send my congratulations
I wish you happiness, joy
In the Lord's Ascension.

I wish business
You have done good,
To live a righteous life,
So that they do not sin.

May God's grace
It will descend from heaven on us
Lord's Ascension
Glorifies all the people.

We ask God for salvation
And we carry spring flowers,
We put candles in front of the icons
On the day of the Lord's Ascension.

On this day Jesus Christ
Completed his ministry.
God the Father lifted him up,
He left our Earth.

For our sake he took torment,
And again he returned to Eternity.
Ascension is a day of separation
Marked with bright joy.

On this day, Jesus ascended to heaven,
Blessing us for good deeds,
He showed us the right path to salvation,
And for the sake of sinners he suffered.
Today is the Ascension holiday, congratulations,
We sincerely wish you the grace of the Lord,
May the bird of happiness always fly to you,
I wish you happiness, smiles and family warmth.

I see my God everywhere,
He is the children of his father - and will not leave,
No, he will never deny that
In whom faith in the Merciful does not grow cold.

Lord my God - on land, on waters,
And in the noisy crowd, in the worldly excitement,
And in the hut, and in the lush mansions,
And in the haven of the soul - in solitude ...

There is no place whose ray
He, who is everywhere, would not illuminate;
There is no darkness, there is no eclipse before Him:
Everyone is close to the Gracious and Almighty.

Do you want to believe or do not believe
Jesus resurrected ours after death!
And exactly forty days later
He ascended like a bird -
The Lord the Father took him away,
Leaving us all the pain of hearts ...
But how long will good live
In our hearts, so much he is -
Jesus Christ will be alive!
Family, happy holiday!

Following Easter Sunday
A great holiday - Ascension!
Christ suddenly rose again,
Then - ascended to heaven!
So that from there we, lost,
Make life happier and better!
Happy holiday great and bright,
Be warmed by the warmth of the Lord!
