The Ascension Framed Canvas Icon

The Ascension icon depicts Christ rising into heaven before the eyes of His apostles, His hand often raised in blessing even as He departs from their sight, while the Mother of God stands at the very centre of the group gathered below in steady and composed prayer. Two angels are commonly shown among the apostles, recalling the words spoken to the disciples as they stood gazing upward, that this same Jesus would return again in like manner as He had departed. The feast marks the completion of Christ's earthly ministry, His enthronement at the right hand of the Father in the fullness of glory, yet the Church has never read this departure as an absence, for Christ Himself promised to remain with His own until the end of the age. This icon offers a fitting reminder that the Christian life is lived in hopeful expectation, and serves as a meaningful gift for anyone seeking to renew their hope in Christ's promised return.

“This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11)

O Christ our God, who didst ascend in glory yet hast promised never to leave us, lift up our own hearts toward the things above, and grant that we may live always in joyful expectation of Thy return. Amen.
