Most of us are familiar with Palm Sunday. We’re all familiar with Easter Sunday. Today, however, is a day you might be less familiar with: Transfiguration Sunday. What’s that you say? You’ve never heard of Transfiguration Sunday? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Transfiguration Sunday is traditionally celebrated the Sunday before the season of Lent which kicks off this week with Ash Wednesday. The Transfiguration of Jesus on one end of Lent creates a bookend to the other end: the Easter resurrection! When understood this way, the Transfiguration serves as a foretaste of the glory of resurrection, and both the transfiguration and the resurrection remind us of the glory and transformation of our own souls that are in process and yet to be realized.
