The Uncreated Light
The radiance that blazed from Christ on the mountain, glimpsed again by praying saints
The Uncreated Light is the divine glory said to have shone from Christ at the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, which, in the Eastern tradition, certain saints come to experience in prayer. Symeon the New Theologian and Gregory Palamas treated it as God's own uncreated energy, truly God and not a created glow. This understanding is central to Eastern hesychast theology and is not framed this way in the Western traditions.
