On May 29, one of the main Christian holidays, the day when Jesus Christ went to heaven and completed the worldly ministry – will come as the extinguishing of the Lord. For Orthodox believers, this is a symbol of the transition and beginning of a new era. Every year, the holiday is celebrated on Thursday, 40 days after Easter.
