Can you explain your reasoning here? I don’t see how one necessarily follows from the other.

It foreshadowed the event.

How does Jesus being found in the Temple and Mary initiating Jesus’ ministry at the wedding of Cana forshadow his death and Resurrection?
We are looking backwards so it is easier for us to make connections. But back then Jesus was just starting his ministry.

Because they were separated for three day.

That’s really a connection one can only make in hindsight though. Being separated for 3 days does not automatically say Jesus is going to be crucified and rise on the third day. It is only in hindsight could the connection be made.

This article talks about what Mary did know, although it doesn’t specifically talk too much about the Cross. It does talk about that Mary knew many things about Jesus, like how Jesus would be a king whose throne would never end and that he would be a saviour to his people.

Thanks for asking Carl. It was kind of tough to articulate my intuition on the matter.
This is all speculation of course so take it with a few big grains of salt.
Jesus had reached the age of adulthood. For Jesus it wasn’t just a custom it was real. For most pubescent kids parental authority isn’t even questioned. How many kids at twelve re- submit to their parents authority and it not be repentance for sin? Having been found in the Temple, I think is the reason for this re-submission of authority. At twelve it’ seems Jesus was beginning His public ministry. He would say to Our Lady 18 years later that it was not yet His hour. I think this is something He was taught by His Blessed Mother after the age of twelve when He reached His adulthood. I think by that time she understood the rejection and death that the Prophets faced. How much more so her Son? Simeons prophecy was something she thought about since it was spoken to her and I think 12 years of thinking about it and the finding in the Temple brought it home for her and it was time to teach that stark reality to her innocent Son who apparently didn’t know it.
