The Feast of the Transfiguration, celebrated on August 6th (August 19th in the Revised Julian calendar), is a major feast in the Orthodox Christian Church commemorating the event where Jesus revealed his divine glory to his disciples, Peter, James, and John, on Mount Tabor. This feast is rich in theological significance, affirming Christ's divinity and humanity, and pointing to both the resurrection and the Second Coming. The Transfiguration reveals Jesus as both fully God and fully human, a core tenet of Orthodox theology. The event demonstrates the potential for human beings to be transformed and glorified through union with Christ, a process called theosis or deification. Moses and Elijah's presence signifies that Christ is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. The Transfiguration foreshadows the resurrection of Christ and his future glory in the Kingdom of God. The dazzling light that emanates from Christ is identified as the uncreated divine energy, signifying God's glory. The disciples present on the mountain represent the Church on earth, while Moses and Elijah represent the Church in heaven. The experience of the Transfiguration is linked to the purification of the heart, which allows one to perceive God's glory. The feast also points to the ultimate transformation and glorification of all creation in God's presence. In essence, the Feast of the Transfiguration highlights the central truths of the Orthodox Christian faith: the nature of God, the purpose of humanity, and the ultimate destiny of all creation in Christ.
