The Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus
Christ is celebrated each year on August 6. The feast commemorates
the transfiguration or metamorphosis of Christ on Mount Tabor, when
our Lord appeared in His divine glory before the Apostles Peter, James,
and John.

The event of the Transfiguration is recorded in three of the four Gospels: Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-8, and Luke 9:28-36. Jesus took the
Apostles Peter, James, and John with Him up upon a mountain, and
while they were on the mountain Jesus was transfigured. His face
shone like the sun, and His garments became glistening white.
Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ, talking to Him. Peter declared how good it was for them to be there
and expressed the desire to build three booths for Moses, Elijah, and Christ. This reference to the booths
could imply that this occurred during the time of the Feast of Tabernacles when the Jews would be camping out in the fields for the grape harvest; for this Feast had acquired other associations in the course of its
history, including the memory of the wanderings in the wilderness recorded in the Old Testament book of
Exodus.

While Peter was speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice came from the cloud saying, "This
is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him." When the disciples heard this they fell on
their faces filled with awe. Jesus came to them and told them to not be afraid. When the three looked up
they saw only Jesus.
As Jesus and His disciples came down the mountain, He told them not to speak of what they had seen
until He had risen from the dead.
1. Christ appears in the center of the icon
blessing with His right hand and dressed in
bright white robes (detail).
ICON OF THE FEAST
In the icon of the Feast of the Transfiguration, Christ is the
central figure (1.), appearing in a dominant position within a
circular mandorla. He is clearly at the visual and theological
center of the icon. His right hand is raised in blessing, and his
left hand contains a scroll. The mandorla with its brilliant colors of white, gold, and blue represent the divine glory and
light. The halo around the head of Christ is inscribed with the
Greek words O on, meaning "The One Who is".
Elijah (2.) and Moses (3.) stand at the top of separate mountain peaks to the left and right of Christ. They are bowing toward Christ with their right hands raised in a gesture of intercession towards Him. Saint John Chrysostom explains the presence of these two fathers of the faith from
the Old Testament in three ways. He states that they represent the Law and the Prophets (Moses received
the Law from God, and Elijah was a great prophet);
they both experienced visions of God (Moses on
Mount Sinai and Elijah on Mount Carmel); and they
represent the living and the dead (Elijah, the living,
because he was taken up into heaven by a chariot of
fire, and Moses, the dead, because he did experience
death).

The Prophet Elijah, appears on Christ's right-hand
side. Moses, who is seen holding the Ten Commandments, appears on Christ's left-hand side.
Below Christ are the three Apostles, who by their posture in the icon show their response to the transfiguration of Christ (4.). James has fallen over backwards with his hands over his eyes. John in the center
has fallen prostrate. Peter is kneeling and raises his right hand toward Christ in a gesture expressing his

desire to build the three booths. The garments of the Apostles are in a state of disarray as to indicate the
dramatic impact the vision has had on them.
4. The three Apostles who accompanied Christ to the
mountain, Peter, John, and James, react to the vision of
Christ's Transfiguration.
The icon of the feast directs our attention toward the
event of the Transfiguration and specifically to the glory of
God as revealed in Christ. This event came at a critical
point in the ministry of our Lord, just as He was setting
out on His journey to Jerusalem. He would soon experience the humiliation, suffering, and death of the Cross.
However, the glorious light of the Resurrection was revealed to strengthen His disciples for the trials that they
would soon experience.
The feast also points to the great and glorious Second
Coming of our Lord and the fulfillment of the Kingdom of
God when all of creation will be transfigured and filled with
light.

ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN CELEBRATION OF THE FEAST OF THE TRANSFIGURATION
This Feast of our Lord is celebrated with the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, which is conducted
on the day of the feast and preceded by the Matins service. A Great Vespers is conducted on the evening
before the day of the feast. Scripture readings for the Feast of the Transfiguration are the following: At
Vespers: Exodus 24:12-18, 33:11-23, 34:4-6, 8; I Kings 19:3-9, 11-13, 15-16. At the Orthros (Matins):
Luke 9:28-36. At the Divine Liturgy: II Peter 1:10-19; Matthew 17:1-9.
HYMNS OF THE FEAST
Apolytikion (Grave Tone) — You were transfigured on the Mount, Christ God revealing Your glory to
Your disciples, insofar as they could comprehend. Illuminate us sinners also with Your everlasting light,
through the intercessions of the Theotokos. Giver of light, glory to You.
Kontakion (Grave Tone) — You were transfigured upon the mount, O Christ our God, and Your disciples, insofar as they could bear, beheld Your glory. Thus, when they see You crucified, they may understand Your voluntary passion, and proclaim to the world that You are truly the effulgence of the Father.

As they emerged from the pond, slightly chilled and ravenously hungry, the swimmers joined the others for hot
dogs, hamburgers and a delicious potluck lunch. Thank
you to Jorge Caicedo and George Bisgounis for manning the grill. Following lunch some returned to swimming, others joined in games and the rest socialized and
enjoyed the beautiful day!

SS. Peter & Paul
Even with a good friend or a brother or a sister? Even good friends
can disagree about something. Two thousand years ago, when the
Christian Church was just starting, two saints of our Church had a
disagreement about something. Saints Peter and Paul disagreed
about how they should act with few Christians. We read in the Bible
that Saint Paul told Saint Peter he was wrong. But the apostle Peter gave in. He wasn’t stubborn and angry at Paul. He knew he had
made a mistake, and he gave in. They made up, and they worked
together to grow the Christian Church. Tomorrow is the feast day
of Saints Peter and Paul! We remember them for all the great
things they did for the Church … but especially we remember how
they worked together to do these things for God. When we have an
argument, it’s easy to be stubborn and angry at the other person.
But lets remember these two great saints and how they held on to
what really mattered—working for God!
We celebrated Saints Peter and Paul on June 29.

We are in July and that means preparations for the festival are well under way. Your support is needed so I’m asking everyone to make an effort to volunteer this year – even if you can only commit 2
hours – we’ll take it! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and we need everyone to rally together
to make it a success. If you would like to help, please contact Catherine DiMauro our festival chairperson at (508) 958.6352 or Kim in the church office (508) 775-3045.
At our spring General Assembly which was held on May 17, we discussed the kitchen and bar project.
We hope to finalize plans and begin work in the late fall. On the agenda was discussion about the
Greek School and I had hoped that some of the Greek School parents would come and participate.
Unfortunately, only 2 parents came to the assembly. I have learned that some churches charge
$600 or more to be taught. Our church, through a General Assembly’s vote decided not to charge for
schooling. In order to support this effort your stewardship must be up-to-date January 31. The
Greek education program has a long and rich history; if it has survived 400 years under the Turkish
Empire, it will survive forever.
On June 14th the Metropolis of Boston had its 29th Ministry awards banquet where Bishop Methodios
presented the awards to approximately 50 individuals in recognition of their time and talents. I’m honored and appreciative to have been nominated by our church to represent St George that evening.
There where around 700 to 800 people in attendance and we had a great meal, I was glad to see the
loud applause that was given to the younger recipient’s for their church efforts. They are our culture, our music, our food, and our future.
