The prophets Moses and Elias flank the radiant figure of Christ standing on Mount Tabor, as the apostles Peter, James, and John fall down in awe and confusion in this Transfiguration icon. The ellipitical shape of light around Jesus? figure is called a mandorla (Italian for “almond”) or doxa (Greek for “glory”). Its use exemplifies the description of icons as theology in line and color, for it depicts the uncreated Divine Light that transfigures Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration.
