Pre-Cana
In John 2:1-12, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee with Mary and Jesus present. His presence and participation at the wedding sanctified the marriage. Jesus granted his first miraculous sign - changing the water into wine! What was Jesus trying to do? He was preparing for a wedding - that of God with humanity! Jesus comes into our homes to sanctify our daily lives.
