EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Church of the Transfiguration, nestled on the slopes of Mount Tabor in Lower Galilee, Israel. Dating back to the 1920s, this Roman Catholic church is a significant pilgrimage site for Christians around the world, as it is believed to mark the location of the Transfiguration of Christ, an event recounted in the New Testament of the Bible. Mount Tabor, with its distinctive conical shape, has long been associated with the biblical story of the Transfiguration, where Jesus is said to have appeared in his divine glory alongside Moses and Elijah. The Franciscan Order, which manages the site, began constructing the church in 1922, and it was completed in 1924. The architectural design of the church reflects the region's rich history, blending traditional Middle Eastern elements with European influences. The photograph showcases the church's stunning setting, with its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof contrasting against the lush vegetation and trees that cover the hillside. The peaceful scene, bathed in the warm glow of the sun, transports viewers to a time and place where faith and history intertwine. The Church of the Transfiguration stands as a testament to the enduring significance of this biblical miracle and the profound impact it continues to have on people of all faiths and backgrounds.
