This isn't a mistake but a detail of a Russian icon of the Transfiguration. Even the mountain is sparkling with the light of the Transfiguration. In the radiant Christ - all light - we witness the Glory of God breaking through: the energies of God, the beauty of God, the abundance of God's presence. Are we known as the religion of light? Not the religion of candle-lighters, but of personal light? God made us for light.

God started it all when God said, "Let there be light."
God's own light!
And soon we'll sing, Christ our light,
as the great candle is carried up the aisle,
and lifted up as from a tomb
to fill the room,
while we ask for Christ to lead us
out of this present darkness
of barbarism,
death,
distrust,
dissatisfaction,
caused by human folly,
to an Easter of life
lived authentically,
generously,
beautifully ~
as Christ lived his.
