Q. 55. Which is the sixth article of faith?

R. “Who ascended into the heavens, and sits at the right hand of God the Father.” (44)


Q. 56. How many things does this article of faith teach?

R. This article teaches four things. First (sic), that he ascended into heaven in the same body, in which he suffered and resurrected from the dead, and sits at the right hand of the Father, in glory and praise. (45) Secondly, it teaches that he ascended into heaven only as man, since as God he always was in heaven and everywhere. Thirdly, it teaches that he never abandoned that humanity, which he once took from the Virgin Mary, and in which he will come again in judgment, just as the Angels announced to the Apostles: “This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven.”[140] Fourthly, it teaches that Christ is in heaven according to his humanity, but not on earth (46), the singular exception being the most holy Eucharist, wherein Christ himself is really present through transubstantiation of the substance of bread into the substance of his holy body and through the transubstantiation of the substance of wine into the substance of his most precious blood Wherefore should we revere the most holy Eucharist and adore it by the worship of latria, because such is due the Savior himself.

From the Orthodox Confession of Faith, Peter Mohila, Metropolitan of Kiev (1633-47)
