Introduction

The Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord commemorates the moment when Jesus, in the presence of Peter, James, and John, was revealed in radiant glory on a high mountain. This revelation manifested his divine nature and foreshadowed his Resurrection, offering the disciples a glimpse of the eternal glory of the Son of God as the Second Person of the Trinity.

The event is recorded in all three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 17:1-13; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36) and recalled in the Second Letter of Peter (1:16-21).
