The Transfiguration of Our Lord

His face shone like the sun, and His garments became white as snow. A bright cloud overshadowed them and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him." When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces with awe. But Jesus came and touched them saying, "rise, and have no fear." (Matthew 17)

Dormition of the Righteous Anna - July 25

The Falling Asleep of the Mother of the Theotokos

St Anna, in old age, gave birth to the Theotokos. At age three, Joachim and Anna took Mary to the temple to be dedicated to the Lord. They visited her many times until their death, leaving her an orphan at age ten.

In Jerusalem, Anna was buried with Joachim at the tomb she built for her family members. It was there in the Garden of Gethsemane that the Savior often prayed with His disciples.

During the reign of St Justinian I (527-565), a church was built in honor of St Anna. Many years later, Emperor Justinian II (685-695; 705-711) restored her church. It was at this time that her body was transferred to Constantinople.
