The Octave of the Ascension
Icon of the Ascension by Andreas Ritzos (1421-92) |
An earthly body, therefore, is lifted up above the heights of heaven; the bones, which but a little while before had lain within the narrow walls of the grave, are brought in among the hosts of Angels. Our mortal nature is given a place in the lap of immortality; and therefore the Apostle’s sacred history which we have read saith “When He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up.” (From St Augustine’s Third Sermon on the Ascension, read on the Octave in the Breviary of St Pius V.)
Courtesy of James Griffin, here are some photos of the Mass of the Ascension celebrated at the Cathedral-Basilica of Ss Peter and Paul in Philadelphia. Especially note the extinguishing of the Paschal candle in third photo. Mr Griffin is also the author of the blog Modern Medievalism.
