Transfiguration Day
If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst out at once into the sky,
that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...
Bhagavad Gita
Choose your transfiguring light.
Matthew 17:1 ¶And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mark 9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. 3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
...or, in the words of a famous Jewish singer, poet, and song-writer:
Give me Christ, or give me... Hiroshima !
Give me Christ, or give me... Hiroshima !
