To climb Mount Tavor where the Church of the Transfiguration is, we ride a large bus to a certain limit where everyone must take another small bus of about fifteen people that took us to the top of the mountain where the church is located. The mountain is very high and with many curves. The view is spectacular! There are very nice gardens to take good photos and the area is very spacious. You will see a few priests in the church keeping everything in order and guiding people. Inside the church you will find beautiful and impressive religious mosaics on some of the walls. You will find bathrooms, but no food, weapons, or animals are allowed in the area. Para subir al Monte Tavor donde esta la Iglesia de la Transfiguración subimos en un autobus grande hasta cierto límite donde todos deben tomar otro autobus pequeño como de quince personas que nos llevó hasta lo mas alto del monte donde se encuetra la iglesia. El monte es muy alto y con muchas curvas. ¡La vista es espectacular! Hay muy lindos jardines para tomar buenas fotos y el area es muy espaciosa. Verá algunos sacerdotes en la iglesia manteniendo todo en orden y guiando a las personas. Dentro de la iglesia encontrará hermosos e impresionantes mosaicos religiosos en algunas de las paredes. Encontrará baños, pero no se permite comida, ni armas, ni animales en el area.

CHURCH OF THE TRANSFIGURATION - MOUNT TABOR : യേശുവിന് തേജോരൂപം സിദ്ധിച്ചതും, 'ഇവനെൻറെ പ്രിയ പുത്രൻ … ഇവനിൽ ഞാൻ സംപ്രീതനായിരിക്കുന്നു … ഇവനെ ശ്രവിക്കുക' എന്ന ദൈവവചനം ഉണ്ടായതുമായ സ്ഥലം Located in Lower Galilee – Atop Mount Tabore - 1,886 ft above sea level - Site of the Transfiguration of Jesus (Jesus and three of his apostles,- Peter, James and John came to this mountain; Prophets Moses and Elijah appeared next to Jesus; Jesus’ face shined as the sun and his garments became white as the light; he spoke with Moses and Elijah, and then a voice from the sky came saying ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him’) – In honour of Jesus, two or three churches, one over the ruins of the other, were built, and lately, between 1919 and 1924, the present Roman Catholic church of the Franciscan order named "Church of the Transfiguration" - In the upper part of the church, above the altar, a mosaic art depicts the Transfiguration – Mount Tabor, besides its holiness, is a picturesque spot with eye catching sceneries – Houses 2 monasteries, one on the left, and the other on the right but a bit far – Visitors coming by buses and other heavy vehicles have to catch cars, vans or other small vehicles from downhill to reach here.

Very lovely place to go! Wasn't sure if we needed to go into the private property...but it turns out we did and it was worth it! The church was absolutely beautiful and the ruins around it just made the whole experience very special. We had a nice reflexion time within the shade in the ruins. The only thing that brought this down to a four was the amount of rubbish lying around and the fact that there wasn't enough signage to say that the private property was where you needed to go. There aren't many bins, so many people seem to just chuck their rubbish next to the roads, and the two bins that were in the car park where ruined. All that is needed is just some more bins and it's five stars!

Matthew 17: 1-8 This Church is built on the site of Jesus’ transfiguration. Here, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up the mountain and was transfigured before their eyes. He showed His glory and gave strength to His disciples before His passion. While Jesus spoke with Moses and Elijah on the mountain height, The Holy Spirit descended on them as a cloud of Light and the Father spoke blessing over Jesus. Before descending the mount, Jesus tells his disciples, “Do not be afraid.”

As part of a group of pilgrims from the Philippines 🇵🇭, this is one of the many churches that we're lucky enough to visit. We have to transfer to a smaller bus to bring us to the Church of Transfiguration. So many pilgrims and tourists alike flock to this place. Once at the top, one can have a view of the whole mountain. There were two chapels inside the church; the chapel of Moses and the Chapel of Elijah. Very beautiful and peaceful inside.

Mount Tabor is strategically located on the main north-south ancient road, and for most Christians it is a Holy mountain - "the mount of Transfiguration". It was an important fortress during the First and Second Temple, Greek, Roman and Crusaders times. This page is an overview of the topography, history and sites on mount Tabor. Additional web pages detail various sites on the hill
