this is the transfiguration scene. they also call this day transfiguration sunday (besides valentines day) this is the last sunday in Epiphany this year as Ash Wednesday is coming up next Wed. thats my calendar facts for today. Anyway I love this story. If you have time read the Hebrew Scripture for the day also . It is Exodus 34:29-35 this is the story of Moses coming down off Mount Sinai with the 2 tablets of the 10 commandments in his hands. His face was shiniing so brightly that he had to wear a veil so the others could even look at him!! It ties in with this readfing very well.
anyway to make it easier here is the story withMoses….
Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; but whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
