 "His Beatitude MEFODIY")
Content
The feast of the Transfiguration has a particularly theological nature, and has been used by Byzantine theologians to illustrate the divine essence that is present in the historic Jesus. St. Gregory Palamas, St. Simeon the New Theologian and others of the late-Byzantine period, would ultimately conclude that because Jesus was able, in his earthly, human state, to display the light of his divine glory, so too, all humankind can strive to “clothe themselves in the light of God” (divinization). This is done by living lives worthy of God’s presence — lives which make use of God’s energies that are constantly made available to us.
GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! GLORY FOREVER!
СЛАВА ІСУСУ ХРИСТУ! СЛАВА НА ВІКІ!
¡GLORIA A JESUCRISTO! ¡GLORIA PARA SIEMPRE!
 "The Transfiguration of Our Lord")
You were transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God, revealing as much of your glory to your disciples as they could behold. Through the prayers of the Mother of God, let your everlasting light also shine upon us sinners. O Giver of Light, glory to you.
(Troparion of the Feast - Tone 7)
You were transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God, and your disciples beheld as much as they could of your glory, so that when they would see you crucified, they would understand that your suffering was voluntary, and they would proclaim to the world, that you are truly the refleciton of the Father.
