CANA

Cana is a Galilean village located about five miles north of Nazareth. We quickly associate Cana with the first miracle of Jesus--the changing of the water into wine in John 2. However, there was another miracle performed in Cana as well. It was the healing-at-a-distance of the Capernaum nobleman’s son in John 4:46-54. There is a church built over the old wedding banquet hall where it is said that the miracle took place. When you visit the church, notice the size of the water jars they used. The wedding could have been a friend or relative due to its being so close to Nazareth. Cana is also the hometown of Nathanael.
