OBS

The elevation of Christ into heaven by His own power in presence of His disciples the fortieth day after His Resurrection. It is narrated in Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, and in the first chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. Although the place of the Ascension is not distinctly stated, it would appear from the Acts that it was Mount Olivet.

OBS

The Ascension is one of the great feasts in the Christian liturgical calendar, and commemorates the bodily Ascension of Jesus into Heaven forty days after his resurrection from the dead. The event is recorded in the New Testament in Acts Chapter 1. In the Eastern Orthodox Church the Ascension is one of twelve Great Feasts. Ascension Day is always Thursday (the fortieth day from Easter).

DEF

Rassemblement d’aérostiers qui, à bord de leur nacelle et durant quatre jours se terminant le premier lundi de septembre, jour de la Fête du travail, font une ascension matin et soir au grand plaisir des festivaliers qui voient s’envoler les montgolfières aux multiples formes et aux couleurs vives. Tenu depuis 1988 à Gatineau(Québec), le Festival a célébré son 15e anniversaire en 2002; ce festival est le 5e en importance au monde. Des activités récréatives et sociales et des spectacles culturels sont également au programme.

OBS

Les envolées de montgolfières se font depuis le parc La Baie dans le secteur Gatineau de la nouvelle ville de Gatineau.

OBS

On doit dire «festival de montgolfières» (et non «des» montgolfières) parce qu’un tel événement ne peut jamais rassembler toutes les montgolfières de la planète.
