A fascinating article, proving again that the Christian Faith is based on history, not fiction. For those with ears to hear, listen and understand.

A historian believes he’s found the location of Jesus Christ’s first miracle – and has newfound evidence to back it up.

Scripture gives limited details about Jesus’ first miracle, which is said to have taken place at Cana. The Gospel of John states that Jesus turned water into wine during a wedding in the village.

“Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons,” the gospel states. “Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ so they filled them to the brim.”

The passage continues, “Then he told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.”

The prevailing theory states that Kafr Kanna, an Israeli town in the Galilee, was the true location of Cana. Pilgrims have long venerated the site, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1914.
