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) |

Mission of the Orthodox Church in America, the local autocephalous
Orthodox Church, is to be faithful in fulfilling the commandment
of Christ to “Go into all the world and make disciples
of all Nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe
all [things that He has] commanded” so that all people
may be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. |

| The
Protection of the Theotokos - October 1 |
|
The Protection of the Mother of God is one of the most beloved
feast days on the Orthodox calendar. This feast celebrates
the appearance of the Theotokos in the 10th century. A group
of people saw the Mother of God during a vigil in the church
where her relics were kept. The Theotokos knelt down in prayer
in the center of the church, her face washed in tears. She
took her veil off and spread it over the people as a sign
of protection.
At this time, the people of the city were being threatened
by a barbarian invasion. After her appearance, they were spared
from bloodshed and suffering. The feast of the Protection
of the Most-Holy Theotokos is celebrated on October 1st.

|
|
Troparion:
Today the faithful celebrate the Feast with joy illumined by your
coming, O Mother of God. Beholding your pure image we fervently cry
to you: “Encompass us beneath the precious veil of your protection;
deliver us from every form of evil by entreating Christ, your Son
and our God that He may save our souls”. |

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.
