Long Weekend

We have a long weekend ahead of us. Tomorrow is a Thursday, but due to the number of days from Easter, we celebrate the day Christ ascended into Heaven. Daniel will be home, but Paula will work. Nurses have to work on holidays sometimes.

I understand this holiday is a celebration of something proving that Christ is in Heaven. It is a little strange to celebrate that He left his followers, but I guess leaving them for Heaven, promising his followers to come there in the future, is something to celebrate. There are things I do not understand about the faith, but if everything was understood, it would not be faith, but knowledge, wouldn't it? Nevertheless, I do understand the concept of having a day off, which is a good thing.
