At the time of the birth of a child, Sowah, Father Ili, was a vision in which the Heavenly Angels of Pelenali and fed the baby with fire. This vision has become a prophetic - the child grew up and became a light faith. When Elijah has grown a little, from gone to live in the desert, where he prayed a lot and observed the strictest post. Later he was called for a prophetic ministry, and began to fight with wicked acts and care from true faith.

During the lifetime of the Prophet in the kingdom of Israeli rules of Ahab, the population of whose spouse actively imposed the cult of Astarta and Waal. Elijah, being a zealous fighter for the purity of faith and an opponent of idolatry, tried to put the king on the right path and made a lot of miracles. Nothing acted on the dishonest ruler, Ahab did not even be afraid of the approaching three-year-old drought and hunger in the state, which foreshadowed the prophet as a punishment for the return to paganism.

After three years of hunger, Elijah again tried to enjoy the Israelites, telling them about the true faith. The Prophet proposed to make a carmel sacrifice on Mount Mount - God and Waal, and see what the altar will come from the sky. All day, idolaters hoped for a miracle, but, no matter how they prayed the priests of Waalov, they could not wait for fire. In the evening, the altar of God made Elijah, while watered with water. The Prophet began to pray, the rapid fire decreased from the sky and struck not only the victim and firewood, but also stones with water. Soon the big rain began, which drove the desired land.

What does the holiday of transfiguration of the Lord mean

For the first time, the holiday began to celebrate in the 4th century, when, by order on Mount Favor, the temple was erected, which was consecrated in honor of the transformation. According to history, it happened 40 days before Easter, but not to be distracted from the most important holiday, Christians transfer the transformation for the last month of summer.

The history of the Transfiguration of the Lord is described in the Gospel of Matthew, Luke and Mark. All three narches have similar to each other. Jesus took three students with him, with whom he went to Mount Favor to turn to God. During the pronunciation of prayer, the face of God's Son brightened and littered the rays of the sun. At this time also, the Prophet Moses and Elijah, who talked with him about future suffering. It is this event that is called the transformation of the Lord.

We will understand what the meaning of the Transfiguration of the Lord is: first, the phenomenon of the Holy Trinity occurred. Earlier, such an event was observed on the day of the baptism of Christ. Secondly, the transformation personifies the connection in God's Son of all the human and divine. Thirdly, it is also worth noting the phenomenon of two prophets, one of which died naturally, and the other was taken into the heaven on the sky. Thus, the holiday of transformation means that Jesus has power, both over life and over death.
