The Ascension into Heave of Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ
May 24, 2012,
40 days after Pascha

An excerpt from the Nicene Creed:

"For us and for our salvation,
He came down from heaven
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit
and the Virgin Mary and became man.

"He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
and He suffered and was buried.
On the third day He rose according to the Scriptures.
"He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father..."
