Abigail;
In the Byzantine Christian calendar, this event is celebrated on
the first day of the apodosis of the Ascension ( day after the Ascension).
Although not in hand at the moment,( hence cannot cite page ) Baumstarck,
Comparative Liturgy, makes a footned reference to this feast and its
propers and their migration to the Latin West. It should not be difficult
to locate.
