The end of the Easter season is the feast of the Ascension, 40 days after Easter, and referred to in the Book of Common Prayer (1662) as Holy Thursday. It is the magnificent conclusion to Jesus’ physical ministry on this planet as the incarnate God, well, in the present age anyway, and worth celebrating. Some theologians see it as the final climax of Jesus’ enthronement process as the true king in the Kingdom of God.

Many of us perhaps don’t come from traditions where this Feast Day was even recognised. But we can change that!

The cathedral is holding an Ascension Day service on Thursday May 14th at 7pm, and we would love this to be a combined service for all the Anglican churches in Greater Darwin.
