(feast of the transfiguration celebrated by christians on august 6)
(the transfiguration of jesus is an event reported in the new testament when jesus is transfigured and becomes radiant in glory upon a mountain)
(the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 17:1–9, Mark 9:2–8, Luke 9:28–36) describe it, and 2 Peter 1:16–18 refers to it (Lee 2004, pp. 21–33): it has also been hypothesized that the Gospel of John alludes to it in John 1:14 (Lee 2004, p. 103))
(peter, James, John, Jesus, Moses, and Elijah were on the mount of transfiguration)
In these accounts, Jesus and three of his apostles, Peter, James and John, go to a mountain (the Mount of Transfiguration) to pray. On the mountain, Jesus begins to shine with bright rays of light. Then the prophets Moses and Elijah appear next to him and he speaks with them.
(jesus is then called “son” by a voice in the sky, assumed to be god the father, as in the baptism of jesus)
