Transfiguration

Description

The transfiguration of Jesus is a pivotal event that is attested to in three of the gospels and is one of the Coptic Church’s minor lordly feasts.

 

Drawing on the Gospel narrative, Pope Shenouda III highlights the convergence of the Law and the Prophets, epitomized by the appearance of Moses and Elijah alongside the transfigured Christ. Yet, it’s not just a story of celestial splendor; it’s also a tale of human self-examination, as seen through the reactions of Peter, James, and John.
