Today would traditionally be Ascension Thursday, but we aren't celebrating until Sunday. Why?
The solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord occurs forty days after Easter Sunday because that's when Luke attributes the event in the Acts of the Apostles (see Acts 1:1-10). However, in the Diocese of Toledo and most dioceses in the United States, the solemnity is transferred to the following Sunday (June 1 this year) to allow for more participation among the faithful. So instead of celebrating the 7th Sunday of Easter this Sunday, we will be celebrating the Ascension of the Lord.
