Capital - The Transfiguration and The Doubting Thomas

myminifactory

The Transfiguration unfolds over three sides in an unforgettable scene. With Peter, James, and John by his side, Jesus retreats into the mountains for a moment of prayer, where he reveals his divine nature to these devoted disciples. Struck with awe and terror, they fall prostrate before him as they witness the magnificent sight of Christ Glorified conversing with Moses and Elijah - two revered figures representing the Old Covenant and the Prophets. Peter suggests that three tents be constructed, symbolized by three towering structures on the right, to commemorate Christ, Moses, and Elijah respectively. The inscription "TRANSFIGURACIO D(OMI)NI" boldly identifies this pivotal scene. Meanwhile, Thomas' skepticism is palpable on the fourth side of the narrative. Absent when Jesus first appears to his apostles, Thomas remains unconvinced despite their testimony. Eight days later, Jesus reappears before him and invites the doubting Thomas to inspect his right side, where he reveals a wound that confirms his resurrection.
