On Monday 20th May, 'Open the Book' were welcomed in for another fun and interactive Bible storytelling. This time they focussed on the stories of Ascension and Pentecost. Ascension Day, commonly called “Holy Thursday,” celebrates Jesus’s return to Heaven. It is generally celebrated on a Thursday 40 days following Easter. Pentecost is the festival when Christians celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is celebrated on the Sunday 50 days after Easter. It is also called Whitsun. Pentecost is widely regarded as the birthday of the Christian church, and the start of the church's mission to the world.
