Forefeast of the Transfiguration

Troparion — Tone 4 (Forefeast) Come, you faithful, let us welcome the Transfiguration of Christ, / and let us joyfully cry as we celebrate the prefeast: / “The day of holy gladness has come; / the Lord has ascended Mount Tabor / to radiate the beauty of His divinity.”

Kontakion — Tone 4 Today all mortal nature shines with the divine Transfiguration / and cries with exultation: / “Christ the Savior / is transfigured to save us all!”
