Feast Of The Ascension Catholic 2024. Saint john chrysostom and saint augustine make reference to it, but it was. The feast has lost its meaning in the experience of too many catholics and other christians.
The feast of the ascension marks the beginning of the first novena, or nine days of prayer. This feast commemorates the elevation of christ into heaven by his own power in the presence of his disciples on the fortieth day after his glorious resurrection.
