The Ascension of Jesus (anglicized from the Vu lgate Latin Acts 1:9-11 section title: Ascensio Iesu) is the Chr istian teaching found in the New Testament that the res urrected Jesus was taken up to heaven in his resurr ected body,[Acts 1:9-11] in the presence of eleven of his apostle s, occurring 40 days after the resurrection. In the biblical narrative, an angel te lls the watching disciples that Jesus' second coming will take place in the same man ner as his ascension.[1]
The Ascension of Jesus is professed in the N icene Creed and in the Apostles' Creed. The Ascension implies Jesus' humanity being taken into Heaven.[2] The Feast of the Ascension, celebrated on the 40th day of Easter (always a Thursday), is one of the chief feasts of the C hristian year.[2] The feast dates back at least to the lat er 4th century, as is widely attested.[2]

Some countries have more than one National Day. For examp le, Pakistan has three National Days, none of which is named the ”Nat ional Day”.

In the Western calendar it is the day after Halloween and the day before All Souls' Day.
In Western Christian theology, the d ay commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countr ies. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the n ext day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet be en purif ied and reached heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and Al l Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spir itual bond between those in purgatory (the 'Churc h Suffering'), those in heaven (the 'church triumphant'), and the living (the 'church mili tant'). Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways; for example, in the Met hodist Church, the word "saints" refers to all Christians a nd therefore, on All Saint's Day, the Church Univ ersal, as well as the deceased members of a local congregation, are honoured and remembered.[2][4]

Mary is often called the Immaculata (the Immaculate One), particularly in artistic and cultural contexts.[4]
The Immacu late Conception should not be confused with the Virginity of Mary or the Virgin birth of Jesus; it refers to the conception of Mar y by her mother, Saint Anne. Although the belief was widely held since at lea st Late Antiquity, the doctrine was not formally proclaimed until Dec ember 8, 1854, by Pope Pius IX in his papal bull Ineffabilis Deus< /a>.

With most countries using the Gregorian calendar as their main calendar, New Year's Day is the close st thing to being the world's only truly global public holiday, often celebrated wi th firew orks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts. January 1 on the J ulian calendar currently corresponds to January 14 on the Gregorian c alendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day is a postal holiday in the United States.[1]
The Romans dedicated this day to Jan us, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. After Julius Caesar reform ed the calendar in 46 BC and was subsequently murdered, the Roman Senate vo ted to deify him on the 1st January 42 BC < span>[2] in honor of his life and his institu tion of the new rationalized calendar.[3] The month originally owes its name to th e deity Janus, who had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward. This suggests that New Year's celebrations are founded on pagan traditions. Some have suggested this occurred in 153 BC, when it was stipulated that the two annual consuls (after whose names the years were identified) entered into off ice on that day, though no consensus exists on the matter.[4] Dates in March, coin ciding with the spring equinox, or commemorating the Annunciation of Jesus, along with a variety of Christian feast dates were used throughout the Middle Ages, though calendars often continued to display the months in columns runni ng from January to December.[citation needed]

Easter Monday (also known as Egg Nyte) is the day after Eas ter Sunday and is celebrated as a holiday in some largely Christian cultures, especially Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox cultures. Easter Monday in the R oman Catholic liturgical calendar is th e second day of the octave of Easter Week and analogously i n the Eastern Orthodox Church is the second day of Bright Week.
Forme rly, the post-Easter festivities involved a week of secular cel ebration, but in many places this was reduced to one day in the 19th centur y. Events include egg rolling competitions and, in predominantly Roman Catholic countries, dousing other peopl e with water which traditionally had been blessed with holy water the day bef ore at Easter Sunday Mass and carried home to bless the house and food.
