Mount Tabor, where the disciples witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus

The Gospel of the Second Sunday of Lent describes the Transfiguration of Jesus. The episode took place on Mount Tabor, located in northern Israel, 17 km from Nazareth.

In Psalm 89, King David glorifies the Lord God, who created the north and the south and said that Tabor and Hermon rejoice in His name … Being here allows us to understand this Word. Even nature seems to express joy towards God the Creator. A special place …

The Gospel does not mention the name of the Holy Mountain on which the transfiguration of Jesus took place, but a third-century tradition cites the Mount Tabor as the place where Jesus allowed Peter, James and John to see a ray of His heavenly glory.

The Transfiguration of Jesus is directly related to the season of Lent.
