This is my basket of 1st fruits I took to Divine Liturgy last night to get blessed
From the Liturgical Year of the Byzantine-Slavonic Rite book-
This feast commemorates the manifestation of Christ's glory, as recorded by St. Matthew. "Jesus took Peter, James and his brother John, and let them up a high mountain by themselves, and was transfigured before them. And His face shone as the sun, and His garments white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking together with Him. Then Peter addressed Jesus, saying, 'Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You will, let us set up three tents here, one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elias.' A he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them and suddenly, a voice out of the cloud said,"This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear Him.' And on hearing it the disciples fell on their faces and were exceedingly afraid. And Jesus came near and touched them, and said to them,'Arise, and do not be afraid.' But lifting up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only" (Mt. 17:1-8).
