Miracle at Cana

The right lancet retells two of Christ's miracles. In the large medallion is the Marriage at Cana, significant as it was His first miracle. Here, in an hour of need, He brightened the festivities by turning the cruses of water into wine. (Note the pitcher and jar.) Behind the seated figure of Christ we see the anxious faces of His mother, Mary, at whose suggestion He performed the miracle, and of the bride and groom.

Information on the stained glass windows comes from the book "The Windows and Symbolism of First Methodist Church, Birmingham, Michigan", edited by Dr. Arnold F. Runkel and privately published by the church for its members in 1966.
