Georgian Orthodox Church marks Transfiguration of Christ

The Georgian Orthodox Church is marking the Transfiguration of Christ today, one of the 12 major feasts of the Orthodox Christian calendar.

The feast commemorates the biblical account of Jesus Christ's Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, where he revealed his divine glory before three of his disciples - Peter, James and John.

According to the Gospel accounts, Christ's appearance was transformed before the disciples, who witnessed his divine nature.

The Transfiguration is regarded as one of the most significant events in the life of Christ and is celebrated annually by Orthodox Christians around the world.
