Cana

Cana, OF GALILEE, the scene of our Lord's first miracle, and the birthplace of Nathanael, was situated in the neighbourhood of Capernaum, to the W. of the Sea of Galilee. Two modern villages claim to represent the sacred site, and good authorities are divided as to the identification. The one village, now called Kefr Kenna, is 4½ miles NW. of Nazareth; the other, Kana el Jelif, is 9 miles N. of Nazareth. Robinson supports the claim of the latter. Stanley holds the claims to be about equally well made out. Conder suggests the spring of Ain Kana, still nearer Nazareth, as a probable site.
