Tradational Rock of the Ascension
"When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight." (Acts 1:9)

Sky above the rock of the Ascension
"While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. They said, 'Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking up at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.'" (Acts 1:10-11)
