This episode, at the beginning of the Gospel, offers a unique and important lens that brings into focus many themes that occur throughout the Gospel, climaxing in the Passion: \u2018the first of his signs\u2019 manifesting his \u2018glory,\u2019 \u2018the third day,\u2019 \u2018the hour,\u2019 the \u2018woman,\u2019 the changing of water into wine, the best wine, and, of course, the marriage itself. Fr George offers us twelve meditations on different aspects of this episode, bringing to bear insight drawn from the Scriptures, the Fathers, Liturgy and its hymnography, modern theologians and scriptural scholars.\u201d\u00a0<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/h4>\n<h4>\u2014Very Rev.
