The risen Jesus Christ was present to his disciples for forty days after his resurrection. On the fortieth day he ascended to heaven and took his place at the right hand of the Father. In the Episcopal Church the Ascension is one of the seven “Principal Feasts” of the liturgical year, and begins a period  expectant waiting for the gift of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.  This is the last segment of the Great Fifty Days, the season of exuberant joy and celebration that begins with the Great Vigil of Easter and concludes with Pentecost.  During this time, Alleluias are multiplied, fasting and abstinence is suspended, and the general confession is omitted from the liturgy.
