Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The King in His Beauty: The Feast of the Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36)

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration. On a mountain in Galilee, the face of Jesus shone like the sun. Moses and Elijah appeared. A voice spoke from the cloud. The same Jesus who healed the sick and bore the cross blazed with the glory that was always his.

The Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ: An Anglican Perspective

August 6: the Feast of the Transfiguration. The August collect asks not for strength to bear the cross but to behold the King in his beauty, delivered from the disquietude of this world. The Season after Pentecost is long. The mountain appears in the middle of it. Rise, and have no fear.
