Holy Transfiguration
Monastery
God is light; In him there is no darkness...
[1 John 1:5]
You were transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God, revealing Your glory to Your disciples as far as they could bear it. Let Your everlasting Light also shine upon us sinners, through the prayers of the Theotokos. O Giver of Light, glory to You!
