From Tabor to the Empty Tomb

Today's Homily: What difference does the Resurrection actually make? In this homily for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost, Archbishop Irineos connects Saint Paul's powerful teaching in 1 Corinthians 15 with the recent Feast of the Transfiguration, showing how the glory revealed on Mount Tabor points directly to Christ's victory over death. Far more than a familiar doctrine or annual celebration, the Resurrection is the foundation of the Christian life, the defeat of despair, and the source of our transformation in Christ. Drawing on the wisdom of Saints John Chrysostom, Athanasius, and Cyril of Jerusalem, this message explores why the empty tomb changed the course of history, how the risen Christ transformed a persecutor into an apostle, and why His victory continues to offer hope, repentance, and renewal to every believer today.We welcome all visitors to join us at Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church, in the northwestern suburbs of Austin, Texas.
