Gospel Note
Mark's description of the transfiguration of Jesus, though probably to the evangelist an eschatological sign of the Messiahship of Jesus, points to a classic theophany, i.e., a breakthrough of the mysterious sacred into the everyday profane, and a typically human, irrelevant reaction: "This is wonderful! Let's build something!"
