Marriage at Cana - Stamford Lincolnshire

Marriage at Cana - Stamford Lincolnshire

This four-light window, at All Saints Stamford, depicts The Marriage at Cana (John 2:1–11), the first miracle of Christ. Executed by Clayton & Bell in the late nineteenth century, it combines the Cana narrative with a Marian-inflected Christological cycle in the predella below.

In the main lights, Christ stands centrally, blessing the water jars as servants draw the newly transformed wine. Mary gestures toward her Son, echoing her words: “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” The surrounding guests express surprise and animation as the miracle unfolds.
