#The Wedding of Cana

[dreaminginthedeepsouth]

Today the second Sunday in Epiphany was celebrated in the medieval liturgical calendar as the Feast or the Wedding of Cana, the occasion of turning water into wine. This miniature front page taken from the Bamberger Psalter, with bright colors on a gold background, shows the feast meal and, in the lower register, a servant filling with water from strongly colored jars. The Bamberger Psalter was made in Bamberg or Regensburg around 1230 CE by unknown artists. Bamberg, Staatsbibliothek, ms Msc. Bibl. 48, f° 60v. :: [Robert Scott Horton]

* * * *

The dove descending breaks the air With flame of incandescent terror Of which the tongues declare The one discharge from sin and error. The only hope, or else despair Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre— To be redeemed from fire by fire.

Who then devised the torment? Love. Love is the unfamiliar Name Behind the hands that wove The intolerable shirt of flame Which human power cannot remove. We only live, only suspire Consumed by either fire or fire.

— T. S. Eliot, 'The Four Quartets.' 

From Part IV. A Shrove Tuesday meditation.

THE WEDDING FEAST AT CANA

I believe this is a renaissance Catholic religious painting of the Wedding Feast of Cana. I believe the Artist is Cranach. Whether the Elder or the Younger, I'm not sure.

Fell down the rabbit hole of "swedish folk art depicting biblical scenes but everyone is dressed like a late 18th- early 19th century peasant" for some reason.

I'm particularly fond of länsman Longinus and one magi rocking the stovepipe hats. Also, the disciples dressed as hussars.

This took me literally all day but I feel very correct in my takes so at least that’s something.

👀!!!

The water bottles lurk ominously in the seat beside you. Neither of you have actually drank any yet, and you’re starting to wonder if the whole thing is just some weird stunt Naomi’s decided to pull. If you’ll both go home, the bottles still full, and she’ll dump them both down the sink as soon as you leave. If you’ll both come to school on Monday and act like nothing’s happened and it’ll just be added to the list of Things We Don’t Talk About, along with the time Naomi skipped school for half a day and Valentine’s Day in seventh grade, when Chatri asked you out and you were too nervous to even squeak out a no so Naomi had to write a note for you and deliver it to him the next day.  

seeing as i don't think we have like any fandoms in common you instead get a brief look into What If The Bible Went To Highschool. shoutout to naomi schwartz the most normal girl alive
