PHUKET, THAILAND, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Ascension: Kenaikan Yesus Kristus is the local name for Ascension Day and people in Medan will be going to their local church to celebrate the occasion with special services. Although predominantly Muslim, Indonesia still has a faithful following of Christians who will be going to pay their respects and joining the ceremonies.
Ascension Day represents the 40th day following Christ's resurrection and the festival is one of the longest running since the birth of Christianity. During the 40 days Jesus is said to have given his disciples detailed instruction on how to continue his teachings. Then on the final day on the Mount of Olives he is said to have risen to heaven to take his place beside God.
The event falls exactly 39 days following Easter Sunday and this year will occur on 2nd June 2011 and is granted as a national holiday for everyone in Indonesia. Many people take advantage of the additional holiday by choosing to take a weekend break and this can cause hotels Medan to be much busier than usual.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented: "The holiday brings many more visitors from out of town and Medan can get busy. People should book ahead to make sure their room is waiting for them on arrival."
