The Transfiguration of Our Lord


On the Mountain You were Transfigured, O Christ God,
And Your disciples beheld Your glory as far as they could see it;
So that when they would behold You crucified,
They would understand that Your suffering was voluntary,
And would proclaim to the world,
That You are truly the Radiance of the Father!
~from the Liturgy of the Orthodox Church

"Rise, and do not be afraid."  ~Matthew 17:7
