A fact from Church of the Transfiguration appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 December 2008, and was viewed approximately 2,934 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I'm just a casual browser.
However: I visited this church in 1988. I'm surprised that the article does not mention about the way the building is arranged. On Aug 6th (the "day of the Transfiguration" in some church calender) the sun strikes a glass plate set into the floor so that the golden mosaic is briefly and (reportedly) spectacularly illuminated.
I know this sounds this sounds like something from "Indiana Jones" but I believe that arrangement would work as claimed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.160.241 (talk) 22:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is very interesting and I agree that it really is something we should write about. However I can't find any references. We can include what you just wrote anyway until we find some references. If you have some it would be great. Thank you.--Fipplet (talk) 13:12, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
