CrimeaPRESS reports:

Congratulation of the Head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov on the feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord.

I am glad to congratulate Orthodox Christians on the great feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord! It is dedicated to one of the main gospel events — the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ on Mount Tabor.

According to Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus’, the Transfigured Lord revealed His Divine nature to the disciples and strengthened them in faith, so that at the moment of temptations and trials they would remain faithful to Him, gave them the strength to overcome difficulties and perform feats.

So it was in the gospel times, so it is today. God never leaves a person, unless the person himself turns away from Him. Let the feast of the Transfiguration illuminate our lives with its light!

In the people this holiday is called the Apple Spas. On this day, many believers will come to temples to bless apples and other fruits.

I wish you all peace and health, prosperity and harmony! — says the congratulation of the Head of the Republic.
