Thursday is Ascension Day!

Which means that it's time for something I've been looking forward to since reading The Catholic Home: mountain-climbing!

As I learned in the aforementioned book, it's traditional to climb a mountain on Ascension Day, in memory of Christ being raised into heaven in the sight of the disciples. Isn't that a cool tradition?

Well, we're not going to make it up a mountain on a Thursday, but my husband and I are hoping to climb a nearby ridge this Saturday or the next. And if we don't make it, I'm determined to climb at least a nearby hill or two.

Seriously, what a cool tradition!

peace of Christ to you,
Jessica
