Johan S. Member Registered: 03/05/03 Posts: 224 Loc: FL	Benedictine or anyone, What is the significance of the hand of the servant who is having his wine poured to him? Looks like he has 3 fingers up??? Any thoughts?

Hesychios Orthodox Catholic Toddler Member Registered: 12/26/02 Posts: 1865 Loc: Yantai, Shandong, China	I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it is the wine steward making a gesture indicating the superior quality of the wine. I suppose it would help to know a little bit about the culture of the iconographer. Of course, it could represent the trinity manifesting itself at that moment. That might have been a sign to show God fully present in space and time. OK I'm out of guesses! What do I win? Michael

Seated around the table from our left to right are Jesus, Mary, the groom, the bride, a representative disciple of Jesus, and the chief steward. ... The disciple is represented with a very large and high forehead, symbolic of spiritual enlightenment. His hand is raised in a gesture of blessing, acknowledging the manifestation of the Messiah's power. ...
