This church in Pyecombe is not – as is usually the case – dedicated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, or to the Mother of God Mary or her son. Instead, it bears an event as its patronage title, namely the TRANSFIGURATION (in German-speaking countries called "Transfiguration of Christ" or "Transfiguration of the Lord"). The three synoptics in the Bible report on this, i.e. all the evangelists except John: Mark (Chapter 9), Luke (Chapter 9), Matthew (Chapter 17). In a work aid from the Bible Society, the event of the transfiguration / transfiguration is summarized in the following two sentences: => "In the middle of everyday life, three disciples have an Easter experience with Jesus: They see Jesus in a mysterious light, and Moses and Elijah talk to him. In this way, the disciples are revealed the deepest identity of Jesus as the "beloved son" of God." This event, which is attested three times in the New Testament, takes place on Mount Tabor in Israel. A basilica was built there in memory (see https://www.komoot.de/highlight/266239 ), which can thus be considered the original church for the patronage of this place of worship here.
