Thy Crucifixion, O Lord, the Mount became like Heaven, the Cloud was like the Tent. When Thou were Transfigured and the Father bore Witness to Thee, Peter, James and John were there, since they would also bewith Thee when Thou were betrayed; so that, beholding these Wonders of Thine now, they would not be frightened by Thy Sufferings later. Grant that we may Venerate Thy Passion in Peace, because of Thy Great Mercy.

Moses and Elias conversed with Christ, to show that He is the Lord of the Living and the Reposed, and that the One Who spoke through the Law and the Prophets of old was God. It was to Him that the Voice of the Father bore Witness from the Bright Cloud, saying: Listen to Him! He is the One Who despoiled Hades through the Cross, and Who granted the Dead Eternal Life. us, and the Truth of the Lord endures forever.

The Mystery, which was hidden before all ages, was revealed in latter days by Thine Awesome Transfiguration, to Peter, John and James. They could not bear the Shining Rays of Thy Face, nor the Radiance of Thy Garments, so they fell on their faces, weighed down to the ground. In a state of ecstasy, they marvelled as they beheld Moses and Elias speaking with Thee about what was going to happen to Thee. Then the Voice of the Father bore Witness to Thee, and said: This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I Am well pleased. Listern to Him, Who also grants the world His Great Mercy! and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the Ages of ages.
