Orthodox Christians celebrate Transfiguration

Orthodox Christians following the old, Julian calendar are celebrating today the Transfiguration of Jesus, in Moldova colloquially called Probrazhnya (from the Church Slavonic Preobrazhenie). On this day, believers take grapes and young wine to the church to bless.

Transfiguration is considered one of the twelve Great Feasts in the Byzantine rite dedicated to Jesus Christ. According to the Church, “by this feast, our Savior laid the basis of His divine revelation, as He displayed His divine light showing Himself as the true God”.

This is the only day within the Fast of Saint Mary when fish is allowed in addition to wine and oil. Believers are expected in churches to receive the Eucharist.
