Reflections:As the Transfiguration of our Lord approaches it is time to reflect on the passing of this season after Epiphany and our turning toward the beginning of Lent.   Currently two white colored Sundays bracket the green Sundays after Epiphany.   The first Sunday after the Epiphany is white and it is the Baptism of Our Lord and the last Sunday after the Epiphany is white and it is the Transfiguration of our Lord.  But!  It has not always been that way, and in many places still isn't!   As The Christian Year says, "The use of the propers for the Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord (August 6) as those for the Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany, is a Lutheran peculiarity." 
Okay,  so the Feast of the Transfiguration is August 6.  NOT NEXT SUNDAY.   But we observe it as the Transfiguration because in the 16th century we started using the texts of the Feast on this Sunday after Epiphany.   Hmmm.   Something to think about,  something to write more about later...
