Transfiguration Sunday

There is an ancient tradition in which the Transfiguration is celebrated on August 6, but in Lutheranism we have a custom of observing the last Sunday before Lent as Transfiguration Sunday.

Almighty God, on the mountain you showed your glory in the Transfiguration of your Son. Give us the vision to see beyond the turmoil of our world and to behold the King in all His glory; through your Son, Jesus Christ our LORD, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
