What did mary do at the wedding feast of cana?
A:
The first miracle, at the wedding of Cana, appears only in John's Gospel, the last New Testament gospel to be written. In John 2:3-5, Jesus' mother, Mary, simply required of him that he do something about the lack of wine, as if she somehow already knew that he could perform miracles. We have evidence to the contrary when Jesus says to her, "My hour is not yet come," indicating that he has not yet performed any miracle.
Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) tells us that the transformation of water into wine is a typical motif of the Dionysus legend, pointing to the author of John having been influenced by the pagan tradition. Wikipedia also cites Peter Wick as saying, "... the use of wine symbolism in the Gospel of John, including the story of the Marriage at Cana at which Jesus turns water into wine, was intended to show Jesus as superior to Dionysus."
Another answer:
The answer may be found through another question: Why did Mary place herself in charge of the depleted wedding supplies? Or any concern AT ALL about the wedding proceedings?
It seems evident that the wedding may well have been for one of Jesus' "half-sisters" [see Matt.13:55-56]. This would have placed Mary [the mother of the bride] right in the middle of everything. And, of course, Mary, knowing the True nature of her Son from her encounter with Gabriel [Luke 1:26-35], called upon Him to rectify the situation. A very important situation to a mother who wanted her daughter's wedding to be perfect in every way.
Keeping in mind that Jesus' earthly ministry had not yet officially begun [John the Baptist was still baptizing, and Satan the Devil had not yet "tempted" Christ. Jesus' ministry didn't begin until AFTER these things happened - Mark 1:12-15].
That's why Jesus said, 'Mine hour is not yet come.' They were "jumping the gun" on things, as it were, regarding His miracles and His ministry.
Nevertheless, His mother [probably as she was turning and walking back, confidently, to the wedding] commanded the servants, "Whatsoever He saith unto you, DO IT" (John 2:5 KJV)... leaving the matter in her Son's capable hands.
Why is cake served to wedding guests?
In addition, there's a really interesting old wives tale that goes along with the groom's cake:
It's said that if a young, unmarried woman takes a piece of the groom's cake home with her and places it under their pillow, whomever she dreams of that night will be her future husband.
During the reception, if there are any uneaten pieces of the groom's cake left, here's a really great idea -- wrap the pieces in tinfoil and distribute them to the unmarried woman along with a little note explaining the old wives tale. It's fun, memorable, and may even work!
See the link below for some historical information about Groom's Cake.
