town of cana

we are in the town of cana

it is a short distance from nazareth toward the sea of galilee

and on his way to capernaum jesus stopped at a wedding feast

here which he was invited to

and when he came to the feast he was told that the family was so poor

that they didn't have wine for the wedding feast

so christ at this very spot that we are entering right now

on which a church stands over

jesus ordered the jugs filled with water

and then when they were served at the feast

when the jugs were poured around to the different people

it was wine of the finest wine that was known in galilee at that time

we are entering now down into a kind of a crypt-like place underneath the church

where the miracle actually took place

and there is one of the jugs here

that supposedly was one of those he used to pour the wine from that had been water

and the well that the water was drawn from

we are at the place where the water cintern was

it is all undeground as most people lived back then under ground because it was cool

this is where the water came from

he turned the water into wine
