Byzantine Saints: The Holy Transfiguration of our Lord God & Savior Jesus Christ

About this sermon

The Feast of the Holy Transfiguration of Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ, celebrated on August 6, reveals the divine glory of Christ shining forth on Mount Tabor before His disciples. In this profound homily, Saint Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessalonica, explains the mystery of the Transfiguration, the meaning of the Uncreated Light, and the revelation of Christ's divine nature. Drawing from the Holy Gospel and the teachings of the Church Fathers, St. Gregory demonstrates that the light witnessed by Saints Peter, James, and John was not a created or earthly light, but the eternal and divine glory of God made manifest through Christ.
