When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. (And) Jesus said to her, Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come. His mother said to the servers, Do whatever he tells you. Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, Fill the jars with water. So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter. So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now. Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him. -The 2nd Luminous Mystery

On the 3rd day He rose from the dead

Question from Veronica on 3/20/2008:

Since Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday and if He died on Good Friday, why is it considered 3 days later? Isn't that only 2 days. How do they figure.

Thanks Veronica

    But Matthew 12:40 says "...so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." How does Fri evening, Sat & Sun morn add to three days AND three nights??
