Sunday (August 6) we celebrated the Great Feast of the Transfiguration. The mosaic icon (shown above) of this awesome event is in the apse of St. Catherine Monastery, Sinai. This Sunday (August 13) is "After Feast of the Transfiguration."

Frederica Mathewes-Green gives a fine podcast about this icon and Feast at http://audio.ancientfaith.com/frederica/fhn_2008-08-07.mp3
