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) |

Holy
Apostles Peter and Paul
|
|
June 29, is the Feast Day of Saints Peter and Paul. Shown
together on this icon, Saint Peter and Saint Paul, became
Apostles in different ways.
Peter was chosen by Christ, and was with Him during His earthly
ministry. Paul, who was a terrible persecutor of Christians,
was converted to Christianity later.
Both sealed with their blood the testimony of their faith.
Peter was crucified, head downward in Rome on June 29th. On
that same day, Paul was beheaded also in Rome. Their martyrdom
occured in the year 67 A.D. during the persecution of Christians
under the Roman Emperor Nero. Saint Peter who was crucified
on the cross as was Jesus, chose to be crucified upside down,
because he felt unworthy to share the same manner of death
as 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.
