In Religious Education we have learnt about the feast days of the Ascension and the Pentecost. For the Ascension we learnt about Jesus' return to heaven. We made a big mural and drew ourselves in the mural looking up as Jesus went up in the clouds. At prayer time we had a tray with a big white candle in the middle and one little white candle for each person in the class. We lit the big candle which is a symbol of Jesus and from the big candle we lit all the little candles. It was a sign of Jesus sharing his love with us.
The next week we learnt about the Pentecost, when God sent the Holy Spirit to the Disciples. We used the candles again but this time we closed our eyes and talked to God in our hearts while the little candles were lit from the big candle.
When we opened our eyes the big candle was gone but the light was burning brightly on our little candles. This showed us that even though Jesus has returned to heaven God the Holy Spirit is still with us.
