The Season of Ascension
Ascensiontide is the brief ‘season’ which actually is a part of the Great Fifty Days of Eastertide, which stretches from Easter Day through and including the Day of Pentecost (from the Greek meaning fiftieth day). In these ten days, through Word and Sacrament, we celebrate the mystery of Jesus’ glorification in kairos, God’s eternal now, and the entry of human nature into God’s very being.
