“Christological Kessel Run” is going into my theological lexicon now. I was not previously familiar with the Golden Legend but it is striking that Voragine was using the wisdom of his day to explore the physical and metaphysical meaning of the Ascension. His description of the heavens put me in mind of the explanations of spiritual architecture of the ancient Gnostics. And that got me thinking about how much we today invest in the lore of imagined worlds like Middle-Earth, Westeros, and a Galaxy far, far away. So then reading your line about the Kessel Run was a hoot.
