Ascension and Pentecost are movable feasts, occurring between May and June. These feasts commemorate Jesus’ ascension to heaven forty days after his resurrection, and the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles ten days later. Through these resources children learn how they share in the mission Jesus gave to the Apostles at his Ascension, a mission enabled through the decent of the Spirit at Pentecost.
