God Bless

the Archdiocese of Omaha

for celebrating

Ascension Thursday on Thursday!

I especially like the images where the artist shows only Jesus’ feet.

There is a great scene of the Ascension from one of the early silent movies, “The Life and Passion of Jesus Christ,” directed by Lucien Nonguet et Ferdinand Zecca and produced by Pathe Freres in 1903. The Ascension begins at 42:20.
