Many people ask "What does Transfiguration mean?" when they hear the word 'Transfiguration' for the first time. The story of the Transfiguration is found in three of the four gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke.

Here's the gospel story of the Transfiguration:

Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them up a high mountain where they were alone. As they looked on, a change came over Jesus and he was transfigured: his face was shining like the sun, and his clothes were dazzling white. Then the three disciples saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. So Peter spoke up and said to Jesus, "Lord, how good it is that we are here! If you wish, I will make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said: "This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased. Listen to him!" (Matthew 17:1-5; Mark 9: 2-8; Luke 9:28-35)

The Feast of the Transfiguration is celebrated by the church every year on August 6.
