- Forty days Our Lord Jesus Christ was in this world after coming back to life, comforting his own mother, his own many disciples. After they ended, on the summit of a mountain called Olivet, he took his own mother, his own disciples. Before them, and departing from them, little by little he ascended, along with his own beautiful radiance going to heaven.
