christi himmelfahrt
it’s an official holiday today here in germany: christi himmelfahrt. yes, ascension day, but i prefer the german term. it’s more desciptive, more poetic, somehow. what i don’t know is why it’s also the day they chose to celebrate fathers’ day. surely, it doesn’t have anything to do with the controversy surrounding the recently released tom hanks-starrer da vinci film, which allegedly (haven’t seen the film myself) alludes to christ fathering a child with mary magdalene.
or?
