Ascension Day 2026 in France

Ascension falls on 14 May 2026 and is listed as a public holiday in France. In the Christian calendar, Ascension is a feast linked to Easter and traditionally commemorates Jesus’s ascent to heaven. The supplied context excerpt is only a list of meanings for the word “Ascension,” so it does not support that religious explanation or establish the holiday’s French legal status. The date and classification here come from the calendar entry; an official French legal or religious reference would be useful for fuller verification.
