The transfiguration of Christ on the mount.
Matthew 17:1-3, 5b, 6 


And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. ...a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in hom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. (KJV)
