Transfiguration

Transfiguration icon: Centre piece
Lancaster University

Today we celebrate the feast of the transfiguration, when Jesus went up the mountain with his friends, Peter, James and John.  There Jesus is transfigured and his glory revealed. He is joined by Moses representing the Law and Elijah the prophets.  And God speaks words that remind us of Jesus' baptism, this time telling the disciples 'this is my Son, the chosen one, listen to him'.

There is an impressive icon at Lancaster University's Catholic Chaplaincy, well worth a visit. The chaplaincy is open during the day and is a quiet and peaceful place to pray and reflect on what the Lord may wish to reveal to you if you listen to him. 

Right is the centre piece of this impressive icon.
