Today is.......

I think I might have that pic as my desktop background for a while. It's quite cheery!

Oh, that's lovely!

Yes, the picture is interesting in style.

Like the picture, jo! Especially the disciple falling head first down the mountain. Our Sunday School children made some impressive mountains this morning.

j08 It's worth a short trip to the North-east just to see Durham cathedral which I reckon is a match for any of the great cathedrals of Europe. There's also lots of other really interesting things to see up here.

Wish Durham wasn't other end of the country!

Beautiful new window depicting the Transfiguration in Durham Cathedral. Even if you are baffled by the subject matter the workmanship is breathtaking .

Whoops! Got it wrong!. What was said was "This is my Son, my chosen one. Listen to him"

Similar.

Yeah Galen! Perhaps he said it then as well.

"We must trust in the mighty power of God’s mercy. We are all sinners, but His grace transforms us and makes us new." - Benedict XVI on Twitter today.

Yes you DID want to know that.

The transfiguration is in the bible, but I thought those words were at the baptism of Christ?

I do, as do you

suit yerself

There are lots of good fairy stories outside the bible too. Often easy to imagine, not necessarily to like.

I guess it depends on the depth of you imagination as to how well you can picture the scene.

No. No calendar. But there is this vicar......

j08 Were you given a religious calendar or some such thing for Christmas? I agree that the Bible is full of great stories but I don't think this is one of them.
