On the Transfiguration of Christ – A Homily by St. Ephraim the Syrian
The Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord on the Mount on August 6. This feast is one of the great feasts of the Church and the Orthodox Church places lot of importance to this event. This event is described in all of the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Let us meditate on a sermon given by beloved St. Ephraim the Syrian on this event.
