A new series of morning bell begins this week, marking the festival of the Transfiguration, the brilliant revelation in light of Jesus’ divinity. This festival is often ignored, but has always been loved and honoured in the Orthodox tradition. It is full of wisdom and possibility if we give it our attention. For more on the story itself go to one or more of the Gospel accounts (Matthew 17, Mark 9, Luke 9).

The pictures were taken on an iphone in a very ordinary context. What is the true nature of things?
