Sunday is the Christian day of worship and commemorates the ____ of Christ.

• A. Resurrection
• B. Birth
• C. Crucifixion
• D. Ascension

Answer: (D)

Sunday as the regular day of Christian worship is tied in many traditions to remembering key moments in Jesus’ earthly ministry, including the moment of his exaltation after his resurrection. In particular, some churches observe Ascension Sunday, a special Sunday set aside to recall Christ’s ascent into heaven and his ongoing authority and presence with the church. That connection to the Ascension is why this question points to the Ascension as what Sunday commemorates.

For context, the Resurrection is the event celebrated at Easter, Birth is celebrated at Christmas, and Crucifixion is remembered on Good Friday. Each has its own distinct observance, but the Sunday worship emphasis described here aligns with commemorating the Ascension.
