We modern folk use round tables, rectangular tables, tables with chairs and tables with benches. It might also be the type of meal that is being depicted. A high feast (royalty being present), might be depicted with a head/high table and long tables with diners on one side only. A family meal might be a table with people on all sides. The Cana wedding wasn't a high feast; it was a wedding celebration with family and friends, no royalty. Hence, a different table arrangement for diners.Elise Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135861365310784807noreply@blogger.com
