This is the Transfiguration. Interesting connection to Lent, which the Catholic Church is now observing.
Both Moses and Elijah fasted 40 days on the mountain. Moses received the Law. Elijah was taken up in a flaming chariot.
On today, the first Sunday of Lent, the Gospel reading calls to mind the reason for the season: Jesus moved by the Spirit goes into the desert to fast for 40 days and confront the devil. (Luke 4:1-13)
God is the greatest storyteller!
