On the Mountain You were Transfigured, O Christ God,
And Your disciples beheld Your glory as far as they were able;
So that when they would behold You crucified,
They would understand that Your suffering was voluntary,
And would proclaim to the world,
That You are truly the Radiance of the Father!
Kontakion of the Holy Transfiguration
of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ
