The wedding of cana is a story from the New Testament where it is told that Jesus changed from water to wine. Present only in the Gospel according to John (in chapter 22) he is the first of the "signs" of Jesus, accomplished for the benefit of his disciples "who believed in him" (John 2:11). "On the third day there was a wedding at Cana de Galilee.

The mother of Jesus was there. Jesus was also invited to the wedding and his disciples.

As the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus told him "they have no wine". Jesus said to him, "What do you want from me, woman? My time has not come yet. His mother said to the servants, "Do what he tells you." Now there were six stone jars for the purifications of the Jews, each containing two or three measures.

Jesus said to the servants, "Fill these jars with water." They filled them to the brim. He said to them, "Draw now and bring it to the hotel master.

When the hotel master had tasted the water that had become wine - he did not know where it came from, but the waiters knew it, they who had drawn the water - he called the groom and said to him: "everyone first serves the good wine and, when the people are drunk, so the less good; you have kept good wine so far. " Such was the beginning of the signs of Jesus; it was to cana de galilée. He manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him ".
