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.
