Feast Days are specific days of the year in the liturgical calendar that mark significant Christian moments, which hold particular meaning. Two of these important Feasts include Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost. Ascension of the Lord recalls Jesus’ ascent into heaven where he is seated at the right hand of God; Pentecost recalls the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’ followers. Ascent and descent; eternal life and inspired life. This sermon series aims to celebrate these feasts through film that illuminates the eternality of love and the goodness of inspiration.
