Poor-Quality Mesopotamian Cabernet!...Nympha pudica Deum vidit, et erubuit

It's widely believed that Last Supper took place on April 1 CE33

Cana is best known as the place where, according to the Fourth Gospel, Jesus performed his first public miracle, the turning of a large quantity of water into wine at a wedding feast.

Richard Crashaw(c.1613-1649), English poet, describes it thus:

"The conscious water saw its God, and blushed (original in Latin: Nympha pudica Deum vidit, et erubuit)."
