Cana, or Cana of Galilee, is a village or town on the west of the Sea of Galilee. Historians consider two locations to be the Cana mentioned in the Bible. One of them is Kafr Kanna, the modern Arab city situated in the Northern district of Israel. The first settlements appeared on the territory of the town long before the Christian era, and Kafr Kanna still exists. Khirbet Quana is another probable location of the biblical Cana. It is a place of the archeological excavations situated several miles north from Nazareth. The investigations show the traces from the Hellenistic to early Arab periods in the history of the region. There is no clear information regarding the foundation of Khirbet Qana but the village was most likely ruined in the 7th century during the Arabic invasions. The only biblical references to Cana are mentioned in the Gospel of John. The village is well-known as the place Marriage or Wedding at Cana where Jesus Christ performed the first miracle. According to John he turned water into wine during the wedding festivities. From Cana Jesus went to Capernaum to heal the son of a nobleman. Besides, Cana is mentioned as a birthplace of Apostle Nathaniel.
