At the wedding feast of Cana we see a similar act in her presence and caring intervention on the occasion of the first sign and miracle worked by her Son. On Calvary we see that the Virgin Mother also did a similar gesture at the foot of the Cross as she shared in the sufferings of her Son and united herself fully to the sacrificial gift of the Savior. She then takes his body in her arms and places it in a tomb like a hidden seed of resurrection and of new life for the salvation of the world. 263
