Qana is perhaps the biblical Cana, where Jesus turned water into
wine, or his first miracle. Notable historians seem to agree it is the
same site. Eusebius who lived in the 4th century suggested that the
town was near Sidon, as do the 3rd century writings of St. Jerome.
Early Christian rock carvings and a nearby grotto further support this
theory. Large basins have been excavated in the village and are
believed to have contained the water that was turned into wine. While
the debate over the history of this village continues, it nevertheless
offers the visitor an enjoyable glimpse into its past.
