“że fenomen Świętej Góry Grabarki wynika z przesłania święta Przemienienia Pańskiego. Każdy, kto – podobnie jak apostołowie na Taborze – doświadczył obecności wcielonego Boga i na tym świętym miejscu zasmakował obecności Zbawiciela, wie, że żadne słowo nie jest w stanie opisać tego, co dzieje się wówczas w ludzkim sercu. Duchowa radość, której doświadczamy w tym monasterze, ustępuje jedynie tej przeżywanej w noc Paschalną.

“Tu, na górze Grabarce, Cerkiew uczy, że ukrzyżowanie Chrystusa na drzewie hańby stało się chwałą i zwycięstwem. W sercach naszych rozbrzmiewa radość duchowa św. Heleny, która z wiarą i poświęceniem odnalazła Drzewo Zbawiciela
“Science cannot explain a mystery of the cloud that every year descends on Mount Tabor where, according to the Bible, the Transfiguration of the Lord took place...The miraculous phenomenon happens on the Orthodox feast of Transfiguration. A glaring sphere rushes over believers, then the cloud appears above the cross of the Transfiguration Church, it grows in dimensions and descends on believers, covering them and pouring life-giving moisture over them.

“The Grace of the Holy Spirit has gathered us all from the ends of the earth upon this lofty Mount Tabor, where Jesus “went up to pray” (Luke 9:28), so that we might celebrate this great event of His Divine Transfiguration, which took place before the Apostles Peter, John and James, as well as in the presence of the Prophets Moses and Elijah.
“The miracle of Tabor is not that Christ suddenly began to shine. The miracle is that human eyes were permitted to see what had always been there. The disciples were granted a glimpse of the divine glory hidden beneath the humility of Christ's humanity. And this is also the invitation offered to every Christian: to allow Christ to open the eyes of our hearts so that we may recognize His presence even in the ordinary, difficult, and sometimes painful moments of our lives.

“Η Αγία Ορθόδοξος Εκκλησία μας, περικλείει ολόκληρο το σωτηριολογικό νόημα της σημερινής μεγάλης Θεομητορικής εορτής και μας καλεί, νοερώς και μυσταγωγικώς, πέριξ της πανσέπτου νεκρικής κλίνης της Μητρός της Ζωής, όχι για να θρηνήσουμε μία απώλεια, αλλά για να εορτάσουμε το Πάσχα της Παναγίας, της οποίας η μετάστασις αποτελεί την απαρχήν της δικής μας εν Χριστώ αναστάσεως η Εκκλησία μάς καλεί να αντικρύσουμε τον θάνατο καταυγασμένον από το άκτιστο φως της Αναστάσεως. Είναι θάνατος ζωηφόρος, που μεταβιβάζει σε ουράνια και αθάνατη ζωή. Εκεί, που τα ανθρώπινα μάτια βλέπουν τέλος, η ορθόδοξος πίστη βλέπει πέρασμα και εκεί, που ο κόσμος βλέπει τάφο, η Εκκλησία βλέπει θύρα ουράνιον. Βλέπει την “Υψηλοτέρα των Ουρανών και Καθαροτέρα λαμπηδόνων ηλιακών, των Φιλόθεων Φιλοθεωτέρα και των Αγίων Αγιοτέρα, Τιμιωτέρα των Χερουβείμ και Ενδοξοτέρα ασυγκρίτως των Σεραφείμ”. Βλέπει, εν τέλει, την κραταιάν ελπίδα της αιωνιότητος.
“At the centre of today’s feast stands a tomb, yet the Church does not call us to sorrow, but to joy. The Apostles are gathered around the body of the Mother of God, yet the feast’s hymns speak of life. A separation takes place, yet the Church proclaims a reunion.
