    The Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord in the Byzantine Rite is one of the Twelve Great Feasts and is a holy day of obligation for all ByzantineCatholics. On that day we commemorate the completion of Christ's work of our salvation, the glorious entry of our Lord in His human nature into heaven, as well as His pledge of our own glorification with Him.
