To make known to his disciples that Heavenly spiritual glory that follows temporary suffering, the Lord thirty third summer of His earthly life, in the last year of his preaching of the Gospel, six days after talking about their suffering, death, resurrection and responsibilities of his followers, was transfigured before His disciples, the Apostles Peter, James and John on Mount Tabor.

as the first fruits of green, immature, but as the mature; and a person in this life is ugly, sinful, but as moral development is changing, spiritually mature.
Apple saved, the value of holiday
However, today we have not given much thought about the true meaning of the holiday, often content with its external, ceremonial side.
Well, well, the more it is useful to remember that once in Russia, rich in apple fruits of Christ endowed the poor, the sick deported apples at home. And not performed the custom of the people were considered unworthy of communication. Let's fast forward the custom these days ...
But that day the Savior apple baked apples, meatless pancakes and pies with apples, mushrooms and berries - all that gives to the garden and the forest, to remind, for sure, is not necessary.
