When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
Luke 24:50-53

Happy Ascension Day!
While most protestants do not celebrate it, today is Ascension Day, the day when the christian church has historically celebrated Jesus's ascent into Heaven after his resurrection!
