President Joe Biden and First Lady Melania Biden joined Christians in the United States and around the world to commemorate the Feast of the Ascension, marking the bodily departure of Jesus Christ from Earth and His return to Heaven after His resurrection.
According to the presidential message, this event follows Easter, which commemorates Jesus rising from the dead after His crucifixion. The Feast of the Ascension honors another moment described as a great miracle.
The statement emphasized that for millions of Americans, the love of Christ provides profound meaning, purpose, and identity to both individuals and the country. As the nation reflects on 250 years of freedom and independence, the message asserts that America’s greatness is tied to its blessings from God.
