The First Miracle
Pontius Pilate- son of the Governor of the Judea Province, is sent by his mother to buy three pomegranates and a chicken. In the town of Bethlehem he meets Joseph and Mary, just before the birth of Jesus Christ. He is mesmerised by the presence of Mary and offers all his food items to Mary. On the way back he sees the three wise men (The Magi) and give them the pomegranates. When he arrives home very late- his authoratian father demands the truth from Pontius and refuses to believe his story and whips him very badly sending him to bed.
His mother is also reluctant to believe his story but when she comes to Apply balm on his wounds- she discovers that all his wounds have miraculously healed. She walks out the room claiming to believe him.

Famous quotes containing the words the first and/or miracle:
“And yet we constantly reclaim some part of that primal spontaneity through the youngest among us, not only through their sorrow and anger but simply through everyday discoveries, life unwrapped. To see a child touch the piano keys for the first time, to watch a small body slice through the surface of the water in a clean dive, is to experience the shock, not of the new, but of the familiar revisited as though it were strange and wonderful.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“This is the real creation: not the accident of childbirth, but the miracle of man-birth and woman-birth.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
