The correct spelling is "Kristi himmelsfärdsdag" as two words. Although it can sometimes be written as three words "Kristi himmelsfärds dag," the most common and formally accepted form is the single compound word. This follows the general rule for Swedish calendar day names, where compound words are often written together, especially when referring to specific named holidays.

For reference, I am a native citizen of Sweden.
