Transfiguration

The Transfiguration of Jesus is a subject, which depicts the event in Jesus’ life described in the Gospels, when He allowed the Apostles James, John and Peter to witness His deity. Knowing what was waiting for Him, He wanted to prepare them for accepting the shame of His Passion, so that later they could enjoy His Resurrection. By Transfiguration in the presence of the disciples, He showed He was the awaited Messiah, who, through the secret of the Cross would achieve glorious victory. This was confirmed by the prophets, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in the heavens, and the voice of God the Father which was heard.This is a two-sided painting. On the other side:Gracious Virgin Mary.
