-'''The Ascension''' refers to [[Jesus]] going up bodily into the clouds while His [[The Twelve Apostles|disciples]] watched, after first giving them instructions to wait in [[Jerusalem]] until He would send them the [[Holy Spirit]] ([[Pentecost]]).  The ascension occurred 40 days after his [[Resurrection]].  He has promised to return the same way some day. ([[Acts (of the Apostles)|Acts]] 1:4-11).  [[Paul]] discusses Jesus's bodily ascension in his letters. (Ephesians 4:8-10, and in Timothy 3:16)

-When good people die, their [[soul]]s ascend to [[Heaven]], but not their bodies.
-The [[Catholic Church]] has the [[dogma]] that [[Mary]] was assumed bodily to [[Heaven]]; this is known as the [[Assumption of Mary]]. The [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] also teaches this principle. [[Elijah]] went up by a whirlwind into heaven (2 Kings 2:11).  Other than Jesus, no other people have ascended bodily into Heaven.
