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) |

The
Falling Asleep of the
Most-Holy Theotokos, Aug 15
The Dormition, or falling asleep of the Theotokos, is one of the
great Feasts of the Orthodox Church. It proclaims that the Theotokos
has been taken by God into the heavenly kingdom of Jesus Christ,
in complete fullness of her spiritual and bodily existence.
The Dormition is celebrated on August 15, and is preceded by fourteen
days of strict fasting, only with the exception of the Holy Transfiguration
of Christ, which is August 6. The falling asleep of the Virgin Mary
is the commemoration of the death, resurrection and glorification
of the Most-Holy Mother of Jesus Christ.

Holy Transfiguration Church Raleigh-Durham, NC is honored to have
our photograph featured on the cover of the 2016 OCA Desk Calendar.
The calendar’s theme is “Facing Forward As We Expand The
Mission".
In the year 2000, we started a Mission church and by 2009, we were
able to purchase land and our first church building. Three years later
in 2012, our Mission was elevated to Full Parish Status. As we continue
to expand and gain more members, we will soon outgrow our present
facility.
In 2015, Holy Transfiguration Church purchased land in North Raleigh
which will be the home of our future church building. The photo on
the cover of the 2016 OCA Calendar shows many of our members on the
day the cross was planted and the new land was blessed. We are continuing
to "Expand the Mission" as many Parishes before us have
done.
