One of the beautiful Orthodox hymns for this Feast:

On the mountain wast Thou transfigured, O Christ God, and Thy disciples beheld Thy glory as far as they could see it; so that when they would behold Thee crucified, they would understand that Thy suffering was voluntary, and would proclaim to the world that Thou art truly the Radiance of the Father.

[PJ-Comix]

We will have ample opportunity to do just that during the upcoming season of Lent, which starts this week with Ash Wednesday and the Divine Service. And then on the following Wednesdays, we will have midweek Lenten services.

So will you be giving up Lint for Lent? Yes, I mean laundry lint. It would be such a "sacrifice" not to be able to take laundry lint and roll them into fuzzballs. Actually I like the alliteration of it. Giving up Lint for Lent. I wonder if anybody has ever given up couponing for Lent. Now that really would be a huge sacrifice. I doubt if any Lent observing couponers could go through with that.

Meanwhile back to the alliterative "sacrifice": Giving up Lint for Lent.
