In the third year of preaching on earth, the Lord Jesus Christ spoke to His disciples more and more often about His close suffering, but also about His glory after suffering on the cross. So that because of the announcement of His suffering the disciples would not become completely weak and fall away from Him, the Lord partially showed them His Divine glory. And that's why he took Peter, James and John with him and with them went out to Tabor at night, where he was transfigured before them: "and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light" (Mt. 17, 2). And Moses and Elijah, the great Old Testament prophets, appeared next to him. The Lord showed the disciples His Divine power many times, and on Tabor He also showed them His Divine nature.

One of the liturgical features of the feast of the Preobraženje of the Lord is the blessing and consecration of grapes, and it was the same today at the Transfiguration at the Holy Liturgy in the Kotor Church of St. Nikola, which was served with the clergy by the archpriest of Kotor-Tivat, parish priest of Kotor, archpriest Nemanja Krivokapić.
