It's good that we talked about the Transfiguration again, it's one of the most powerful holidays in the summer for me. I would like to know if Father Pavel also mentioned how the Transfiguration is to be reflected in our everyday life - for example at work or in the garden. Thank you for such discussions in the library.

Yes, for me the Transfiguration is also one of those holidays that you feel even in the garden - when the tomatoes suddenly start to turn red and everything ripens, it reminds me of how we are supposed to change. In my opinion, Father Pavel indicated that it is not only about the Tábor mountains, but also about Christ appearing to us in our daily work. I wonder if you attended the meeting in person, or did you just read it from the article?

It's good that they also talked about Metamorphosis. I always remember what Father Paul said about the sources of Divine Revelation - Scripture and Tradition together, not one without the other. I remembered that last summer, hiking in Psiloritis, I felt something similar when it dawned and the light on the rocks changed. Thanks for such libraries which bring such topics.
