About Ascension Day

Paintings of the Ascension are often curiously literal—feet dangling in the clouds, eyes turned heavenward. For centuries, artists of all kinds have wrestled with this moment: Christ departing, yet somehow more present than ever. The result is some of the most striking and puzzling work in the Christian imagination — music that soars, images that linger, rituals that point beyond themselves.

Come and experience a service full of ancient chant and drifting incense, rich in drama, symbolism, and mystery.

All welcome.
