Abstract
It is argued that every Calabi-Yau manifold X with a mirror Y admits a family of supersymmetric toroidal 3-cycles. Moreover the moduli space of such cycles together with their flat connections is precisely the space Y. The mirror transformation is equivalent to T-duality on the 3 -cycles, The geometry of moduli space is addressed in a general framew ork, Several examples are discussed.
