The Feast of Transfiguration of Our Lord,
God and Savior Jesus Christ is celebrated
each year on August 6. The feast commemorates
the transfiguration or metamorphosis of Christ
on Mount Tabor, when our Lord appeared in
His divine glory before the Apostles Peter,
James, and John.
__________________________________________
The Transfiguration {After six days Jesus took Peter,
James and John with him and led them up a high
mountain, where they were all alone. There he was
transfigured' before them. HIs clothes became
dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world
could bleach them. And there appeared before
them Elijah' and Moses', who were talking with
Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good
for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters-one
for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."
(He did not know what to say, they were
so frightened.) Then a cloud appeared and covered
them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This
is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him! "Suddenly,
when they looked around, they no longer saw
anyone with them except Jesus. As they were
coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them
orders not to tell anyone what they had seen
until the Son of Man had risen from the
dead.} "Mark Ch.9 V2-9
