I’ll start the discussion on the Cana miracle. There’s much that could be said but I’ll only note:
The New Wine is better than the old wine.
Christ represents the new wine of the covenant.

I will add to that..the jars full of water that was changed to wine were the ritual washing jars... How symbolic that wine, the symbol of the cleansing blood of Christ, filled the ritual washing jars.. BTW Those jars were then ritually unclean after the wine was in them.

Great point! I'll add that the marriage feast represents our communion with God and thus when Jesus told his mother that his time had not yet come he points to that time in which all of His will be united to Him.
