Cana – This is the site of Jesus’ first miracle, turning the water into wine at the wedding feast (John 2). This is also the place where the Apostle Nathaniel, who at first doubted that the Messiah could come out of Nazareth, later ministered the Gospel to his countrymen. The healing of the royal official’s son, who lay ill in Capernaum, also took place in Cana (John 4). Today, Bartholomew Church stands in the middle of the village, with two dominant towers representing the couples in Cana and a dome that symbolizes the devotion of the family unit.
