On the top of a mountain Jesus shows his divine, radiant self. The light is too bright for James, John and Peter, who fall to the ground. Two figures from the Old Testament appear: Moses and the prophet Elijah. This metamorphosis or transfiguration is considered as one of miracles that Jesus performed. |
