The Transfiguration

Mosaic copy of Raphael's painting (1516-20)
St. Peter's Basilica, Rome
(Painting: Pinacoteca Apostolica, Vatican, Rome)

The Transfiguration is recounted in the Matthew 17 (cached), Mark 9 (cached), and Luke 9 (cached).  In each case, the account of this event is followed by the episode of the lunatic boy, which is portrayed in the lower half of this image.
