This day commemorates how in the last year of His earthly life, wishing to strengthen the faith of His disciples in Himself, that it might not be shaken during His sufferings on the cross, the Lord Jesus Christ was transfigured before them upon Mount Tabor, showing them the glory of His Divinity. This is a great feast of the Lord, included in the number of the twelve great feasts. One peculiarity of the fast of the Transfiguration is that at the end of the Liturgy, following the prayer below the Ambo, the blessing of apples and other fruits.
