A Lutheran friend was remarking that they celebrate the feast of the
Transfiguration on the last Sunday of Epiphany season and made a good case
for that placement in the calendar: that it represents the culmination of
the manifestation of divinity in Christ begun with the Epiphany. That made
me wonder what the reason was for the RC calendar placing it on the rather
unremarkable date of August 6. Anyone know?
