The Transfiguration was indeed a pivotal event in the life of Jesus and his three closest disciples, Peter, James and John.&amp;nbsp; Right after Peter confesses him to be the Messiah and Jesus makes clear that he would be a suffering messiah, they ascend a mountain to pray (luke 9).&amp;nbsp; Neither Luke nor the other evangelists who tell the story note the name of the mountain, but the early Christians of Galilee preserved the memory of the place.&amp;nbsp; Origen, a great theologian from the early 3rd century, is our earliest written witness to this tradition.
