the wedding at Cana page 1 by ric Gustafson
Mary smiled as she noticed her son was wearing the tunic that she had woven for him. She was standing by her son and his friends as they watched the wedding procession go by. The bride was being carried to her husband's house.
To Mary, it looked as if the entire village was in attendance. Harps, flutes and drums were keeping people dancing all night. Much food and wine were being consumed. By the fourth day of the celebration, the wine was flowing less freely.
Mary noticed that one of the servants looked anxious. " What troubles you?".
He showed her two pitchers of wine. " After this we have no more".
" Surely the bridegroom has more wine in his house".
The servant shook his head.
Mary knew that the bridegroom would be ashamed if he ran out of wine for his guests.
" Come and I will speak to my son".
