The Feast of the Transfiguration, which in Orthodoxy is counted among the 12 great feasts of Christ, is celebrated by the Serbian Orthodox Church and its believers on Friday, August 19.
In the church on the Transfiguration, as a sign of gratitude to God for the fruits that the earth gives, grapes are consecrated and distributed to the people, and in regions where there are no grapes, other fruits.
The Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord is dedicated to the moment when, as Christian tradition says, Christ was transformed on Mount Tabor in front of the apostles and shone like sunlight.
"Then Moses and Elijah appeared to Christ and the apostles, who spoke with the Lord about his death in Jerusalem," it is written in religious books.
Each holiday and its customs are also related to the season. That is why people usually say that since the Transfiguration there are generally no more hot weather. It was also once believed that the Transfiguration was the last day for bathing in rivers.
