Feast of the Lord’s Transfiguration

by Alejandro Vazquez-Dodero, Doctor in Canon Law

The Transfiguration of the Lord, which we celebrate every August 6, commemorates that passage in Jesus’ life in which He showed His divinity to the Apostles John, Peter and James. He “transfigured Himself” for them, that is, He showed them His divine nature. He, who is perfect God and man.

The event took place on Mount Tabor, in the Holy Land, West of the Sea of Galilee, which in Hebrew means  “God’s embrace.” Jesus Christ conversed there with Moses and Elijah, a moment in which the voice of God the Father was heard from a cloud, saying: “This is my beloved Son, my Chosen; listen to Him!”

Praise the Lord
