Jesus performed his first miracle, the turning of a large quantity of water into wine at a wedding feast when the wine provided by the bridegroom had run out. "there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage." John 2.1 According to the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1914, a tradition dating back to the 8th century identifies Cana with the modern village of Kefr" Kenna, about 7 km northeast of Nazareth. However more recent scholars have suggested alternatives, including the ruined village of Kenet-el-Jalil, about 9 km further north, and Ain Kana nearer to Nazareth and a better candidate on etymological grounds. This is not a matter on which certainty is ever likely to be achieved. The village of Qana, now in southern Lebanon, is a further candidate for the location.
