[[Image:Transfiguration.jpg|right|frame|The Transfiguration of Christ]]
The '''Transfiguration''' of Christ is one of the [[Great Feasts]] of the [[Orthodox Church]], celebrated on [[August 6]] and August 19 (according to [[Old Calendarists]]), using the [[Gregorian Calendar]], [[Julian Calendar]] , and [[Revised Julian Calendar]].
[[Jesus Christ|Jesus]] had gone with his disciples [[Apostle Peter|Peter]], [[Apostle James (son of Zebedee)|James]], and [[Apostle John|John]] to [[Mount Tabor]]. Christ's appearance was changed while they watched into a glorious radiant figure. There appeared [[Elijah]] and [[Moses]], speaking with Jesus. The disciples were amazed and terribly afraid.
