We have gathered this evening to celebrate your parish’s feast day – the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This remarkable event in the life of our Lord occurred at the summit of Mount Tabor, which is in the Plain of Galilee. The Three Gospels that record this miraculous event happened in the presence of the Lord’s inner circle: Peter and the brothers, Iakovos and John. And in witnessing this miraculous event, they also experienced the presence of the Prophets Moses and Elias.
