The Transfiguration of Our Lord, was commissioned by Fr. Mike Roach of St. James Catholic Church in Liberty, Missouri for their new church.
Following the compositional structure and elements of the Eastern iconographic tradition, the mural features a stylized mountain and elements symbolizing the brilliant light emanating from Christ. At the upper part of the mural is the hand in a circle of light representing God the Father, and the dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit. Christ is seen with a nimbus and diamond representing divine light. The gold halo representing purity and divine radiance includes the letters, “O, W, N” which are the first letters of the Greek translation of the Tetragrammaton, the Hebrew abbreviation drawn from the theophany to Moses in the Burning Bush, “I AM WHO I AM.”
With these prints, you’ll have the choice of 2 images: Image 1, which is wider and cropped at the top and bottom, and Image 2, which is the full image of this mural, a longer and slightly narrower version.
