Which event is described as Jesus' appearance becoming radiant and speaking with Moses and Elijah?

• A. The Resurrection
• B. The Nativity
• C. The Transfiguration
• D. The Ascension

Answer: (C)

The event shown is the Transfiguration. In this moment, Jesus’ appearance becomes radiant, and he is seen talking with Moses and Elijah on a high mountain. Moses represents the Law and Elijah the Prophets, and their presence with Jesus signals that Jesus fulfills what the Law and the Prophets pointed to. The dazzling appearance and the cloud with a voice from the Father affirm Jesus’ divine identity as God’s Son and reveal a glimpse of his glory, preparing the disciples for the suffering he will undergo and pointing toward the coming kingdom. This moment is distinct from the Nativity, which is Jesus’ birth; from the Resurrection, which is Jesus rising from the dead after crucifixion; and from the Ascension, which is Jesus returning to heaven after his resurrection. The combination of Jesus in radiant glory and dialoguing with Moses and Elijah on the mountain is the hallmark of the Transfiguration.
