Subject: [M-R] FEAST - A Celebration for the Day (August 6): The Transfiguration of Jesus
medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus, also celebrated as the feast of the Holy Savior, is perhaps as old as the fourth century. In many churches it is kept on 6. August. In the Armenian Apostolic Church it is a moveable feast, celebrated ninety-eight days after Easter and thus always on a Sunday. Entered under today in the earlier ninth-century Marble Calendar of Naples and in the originally tenth-century Synaxary of Constantinople, it is said to have become widespread in the Latin West in only in the twelfth century. In 1457, in commemoration of the arrival at Rome, on 6. August in the previous year, of news of the Hungarian victory over the Turks before Belgrade, Callistus III mandated the feast for all churches of the Roman observance.
Herewith some period-pertinent images of the Transfiguration:
