- The Holy Transfiguration of Our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ
- Second "Feast of the Saviour" in August.
- Read the account of Christ's holy Transfiguration (Metamorphosis
in Greek) in Matthew ch. 17, Mark ch. 9, and Luke ch. 9. Appearing
clothed in Light on Mt Tabor, the Savior fulfilled his promise to His
disciples that "there are some standing here who shall not taste death,
till they see the Son of man coming in His Kingdom" (Mt 16:28). Christ's
Transfiguration is the image of the future state of the righteous, of
which He spoke when He said "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the
sun" (Mt 13:43). According to the Church's tradition, the
Transfiguration occurred forty days before His Crucifixion; for this
reason the Transfiguration is celebrated forty days before the
Exaltation of the Cross.
