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]

Instead it ce lebrates the Body and Blood of Christ really present in the Eucharist. Its date is the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, but "where the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Bl ood of Christ is not a Holyday of Obligation, it is a ssigned to the Sunday after the Most Holy Trinity as its proper day".[1]
At the end of the Mass, it is customary ìn many place s to have a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacram ent.

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]

The Second Battle of Rivas occurred on 11 April 1856 between Costa Rican militia under General Mora and the Nicarag uan forces of William Walker. The lesse r known First Battle of Rivas took place on 29 June 185 5 between Walker's forces and the forces of the Chamorro government of Nica ragua.
At the time, a major trade route between New York City and San Francisco ran through southern Nicaragua. Ships from New York would ente r the San Juan River from the Atlantic and sail across Lake Nicaragua. People and goods would then be transp orted by stagecoach over a narrow strip of land near the city of Rivas, before reaching t he Pacific and being shipped to San Francisco. The commercial explo itation of this route had been attained from a previous Nicaraguan administ ration to Wall Street tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt's Acces sory Transit Company. Garrison and Morgan had wrested control of the compan y from Vanderbilt and then supported Walker's expedition. Vanderbilt spread rumors that the company was issuing stock illegally in order to depress it s value, allowing him to regain controlling interest.

It is the first M onday in October in the Australian Capital Te rritory, New South Wales and South Australia.
