May 13, 2018 • Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord | 5 Ascension on a Sunday?

One of the first debates in the early church was this: Should we celebrate Easter each year on the date that Christ rose from the dead (the fourteenth day of the Jewish month named Nisan, according to the gospel of John), or should we celebrate it each year on the day of the week that he rose from the dead —Sunday? Some of the churches in Asia said “date.” After all, Jesus’ rising from the dead changed history, and we ought to keep this date holy. (And this is what the churches later de- cided to do with Christmas, which we celebrate every year on December 25, no matter what day of the week it is.) The church in Rome said “day”: Sunday—the Lord’s Day—is the best time to keep the solemn feast of the resurrection. Sunday was our first —and for a century or so, only —holy day. How could Easter not be on a Sunday? Rome won the debate. To this day, all churches celebrate Easter on a Sunday, and never on a weekday. Recently, the bishops of the United States had a similar discussion: Should we continue to keep the solemn feast of the Lord’s Ascension on a Thursday—the fortieth day after Easter, according to the Acts of the Apostles —or should we move it to a Sunday, the Lord’s Day? (In the gospels of Mark and Luke, Jesus ascends into heaven on a Sunday.) A few years back, the bishops in the western states and in Canada wanted to try celebrating Ascension on Sunday instead of Thursday. Rome approved their plan as an experiment to see if more people would be able to participate in Mass if Ascension Day was a Sunday. It worked. So the bishops of the US discussed whether the whole country should switch the Ascension from a Thursday to a Sunday. They agreed to make the choice region by region, and not for the whole United States. Rome approved. So this year, Ascension Day takes the place of the Seventh Sunday of Easter. The psalm for this solemn feast bids us to sing: “God mounts his throne to shouts of joy, a blare of trumpets for the Lord! All you peoples, clap your hands. Sing praise!” Sunday is the Lord’s Day and the Ascension into heaven is the Risen Lord’s glory. Let us all keep holy this great fe ast of our God.
