1st - The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn
toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to
see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel
of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from
the door, and sat upon it. And the angel answered and said unto the women:
"Fear not ye! For I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not
here. For he is risen, as he said". (Mat 28,1-6) |
2nd - The Ascension of Jesus to HeavenAnd as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself
stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, "Peace to you"; being amazed,
and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. And
he said to them, "Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up
in your hearts? see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see,
because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having." And having
said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet. ... "And, lo, I do send
the promise of my Father upon you, but ye -- abide ye in the city of
Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high." And he led them forth
without -- unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,
and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was
borne up to the heaven. (Luk 24,36-51) |

into Heaven Blessed art thou of the most high God above all the
women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the
heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the
head of the chief of our enemies. ... Thou hast done all these things by
thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased
therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the
people said, So be it. (Jdt 13,18-20; 15,10) |
5th - The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Queen of Heaven and Earth There appeared a great sign in heaven: a woman
clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown
of twelve stars. (Rev 12,1) |
