Transfiguration of Christ Black Coffee Mug

The Holy Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the Twelve Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church, celebrated in August, and one of the most theologically profound and mystically significant events in the entire Gospel. On Mount Tabor in Galilee, Christ took with Him three of His closest apostles, Peter, James and John, and was transfigured before them, His face shining as the sun and His garments becoming white as light. Moses and Elijah appeared alongside Him speaking of His coming Passion, and the voice of God the Father was heard from a bright cloud declaring This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear Him. The Transfiguration reveals that Christ is not merely a holy man but is truly God, that His body is filled with the uncreated divine light, and that the ultimate destiny of the human person is deification, theosis, the participation in the divine nature. This is the heart of Orthodox theology and spirituality.

"His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light." (Matthew 17:2)

O Lord Jesus Christ, who on Mount Tabor didst reveal Thy divine glory to Thy chosen apostles and show us the goal of our salvation, grant us the grace to behold Thy divine light and to be transformed by it into Thy likeness. Amen.

This mug makes a deeply meaningful gift for baptisms, name days, the Feast of the Transfiguration, Easter, Christmas or any occasion where the mystery of Orthodox theosis and divine light is celebrated.
