Today’s Cana of Galilee is situated east of Nazareth and on the road that leads to the lake Tiberias. In the courtyard of the Greek Church of the village were discovered remnants of a ruin of an early byzantine building, perhaps of an early synagogue with a mosaic floor, which is named Hirbet-Cana, namely the ruins of Cana. Archeological searches which were done in this area have shown the existence of an early Roman settlement. Close to the settlement passed the ancient central road which connected western Palestine with Capernaum and Bethsaida. This area is known and mentioned by the Jewish historian Josepus Flavius, which he calls Cana of Galilee. Cana of Galilee is connected with the first miracle of Christ and with the miracle of the son of the Regent from Capernaum |
