What the...?
Never heard of Ascension Day? Let us educate you… a bit.
Ascension Day in the Netherlands remembers Jesus’ bodily ascension to heaven the time when fol-lowing his crucifixion and resurrection. It is the 40th day of Easter and is always on a Thursday. Some devote Christians make a special effort to attend a church service on Ascension Day. For others it is just a day off work to enjoy an early morning walk or cycle ride in the spring weather or carry out household maintenance… or sleep out like students do!
