[3] There is a Greek Orthodox church located on Mount Tabor as well, dedicated to the same purpose.

They are called tabernacles, and they are said to represent the three huts which Peter desired to build, one for his Master (Jesus), the other two for Moses and Elias (Elijah)".

In the upper part of the church there is a mosaic on a gold ground representing the Transfiguration.

[3] On August 6, which is the "day of the Transfiguration" in some church calendars, the sun strikes a glass plate set into the floor so that the golden mosaic is briefly illuminated.

Barluzzi created a roof built of alabaster panels, meant to let in as much light as possible in accordance to the biblical event celebrated here.
