La Trasfigurazione di Gesù – Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“The Transfiguration of Jesus – Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
According to the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus, accompanied by Peter, James, and John, ascended a high mountain to pray. During this divine encounter, Jesus underwent a profound transformation, His countenance radiating with celestial brilliance, and His garments gleaming with a purity beyond earthly comprehension. The presence of Moses and Elijah conversing with Jesus symbolized the continuity between the Law, the prophets, and the fulfillment of both in Christ. Overwhelmed by the magnitude of this encounter, Peter proposed the construction of tents for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah, not fully comprehending the divine significance. In a profound manifestation of divine affirmation, a cloud enveloped them, and the voice of God declared Jesus as His beloved Son, commanding obedience to His teachings. This momentous event affirmed Jesus' divinity and mission, reinforcing His authority as the promised Messiah. As abruptly as it began, the vision concluded, leaving the apostles with Jesus alone, and they descended from the mountain, grappling with the mystery of Jesus' impending resurrection. The Transfiguration serves as a beacon of divine revelation, illuminating the profound theological truths central to the Christian faith. It signifies the culmination of the Old Testament prophecies and foreshadows the glory of Christ's resurrection. In Catholic tradition, the Feast of the Transfiguration invites believers to reflect on the majesty of Christ and the promise of transformation in His likeness. It underscores the theological significance of Christ's divinity and His fulfilment of Scripture, offering solace and encouragement to believers amidst life's trials. On July 22, 1456, the Crusaders defeated the Turks at Belgrade. News of the victory reached Rome on August 6, and Pope Callistus III placed the feast on the Roman calendar the following year.
