Second Sunday of Lent

The Second Sunday of Lent, also known as the Sunday of Transfiguration or Reminiscere Sunday^[1] is the second Sunday in the season of Lent, a period of penance and preparation leading up to Easter. In many liturgical churches, this day is marked by the reading of the Gospel account of the Transfiguration of Jesus, an event in which Jesus is revealed in divine glory to his disciples Peter, James, and John on a mountain, traditionally identified as Mount Tabor. The observance emphasizes themes of transformation, divine revelation, and preparation for the Passion of Christ.
