The meaning of Ascension Day

Every year 40 days after Resurrection of Jesus Christ (this year in May), Armenians celebrate Ascension Day. Both the name for the holiday itself, and the day it is celebrated according to church calendar, is explained through a Gospel story, according to which, after resurrection Jesus Christ wanders on the Earth for the period of 40 days, after which he bodily ascends into heaven.
