The Feast of the Transfiguration

copticuser20

I don't understand the Feast of the Transfiguration? What really happened? Did Jesus' divine form take over his human form? Why was it important that he transfigured? Why did he talk with Moses and Elijah and what could they possible be talking about? And how did he talk to Moses if he was in Hades?

And just a random question...
Where did Enoch and Elijah go if the gates of Paradise were closed to everyone?

Pope Shenouda wrote about the Transfiguration. You will find answers to your questions and more in his book.
