In the Church of Norway, the feast of the Transfiguration is celebrated on the Second Sunday before Lent (on the day that has historically been Sexagesima Sunday). While that is not in tune with how it is celebrated in the Church of England or the Roman Catholic Church (as they celebrate it on the 6th of August), a theologian pointed out to me that it actually makes sense from the biblical chronology. After the transfiguration, Christ started proclaiming that He was about to be captured and killed but that He would rise from the dead. Anyway, here is my homily for the feast of the Transfiguration. I had the Sunday off, but decided to write the homily anyway.
Greetings, Father! You may already have read it, but I wondered whether you know that classic Anglican text on the Transfiguration by Michael Ramsey, "The Glory of God and the Transfiguration of Christ"?

I didn’t realise that the Lutheran Church celebrates the Transfiguration until now.
