Icon of the Wedding Feast at Cana

The Eastern Orthodox icon above depicts the first miracle Jesus performed.  It took place at the wedding of Simeon, who then followed Christ as one of the Apostles.  Here we see Mary interceding on behalf of the family and Jesus performing a miracle as unobtrusively as possible.  He thus blessed the marriage without distracting people's attention from the Bride and Groom.

The icon pictured here was painted by a priest from Christ the Savior Church (Orthodox Church in America) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  Copies of this icon may be purchased by clicking here.
