May 14 - Holiday- Day of Ascension (for the believers out there)

"Ascension commemorates the day that Jesus ascended into heaven (Acts 1:1-11) after spending 40 days appearing to his disciples after his resurrection. The disciples thought Jesus was going to restore the earth to the Kingdom of Heaven, but instead, as he promised to send the Holy Spirit to give them power, he ascended into heaven and disappeared in a cloud.

Ascension is the 40th day after Easter, celebrated on the sixth Sunday of the Easter season in Protestant churches and on the 40th day after Easter in Roman Catholic churches. "

"And disappeared in a cloud" - where He now talks to Republican Presidential hopefuls
