“On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited, with his disciples. When the wine ran out,” his mother said to the servants: “Do whatever he tells you.” Six stone jars stood there; Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water”, and the water became wine. “This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.”
Gospel of John 2:1-11.
Jesus lays his hand on the crowned bride and groom and blesses them: the Coptic Church sees in his presence at Cana the blessing of Christian marriage.
