Transfiguration In the Bible
In the New Testament Jesus is Transfigured and becomes radiant in glory upon a mountain. At that point the prophets Elijah and Moses appear and Jesus begins to talk to them.
The church today is run by Franciscans monks and every year there is a mass in the Transfiguration day
