Transfiguration - This refers to the mysterious change
that occurred to Jesus on the mount: "Six days later, Jesus
took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led
them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured
before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes
became dazzling white." (Matt. 17:1-2). The transfiguration
preceded Jesus' time on the cross and may have been the Father's
preparatory provision to strengthen Jesus as He prepared to
bear the sins of the world. (Carm)
