| Cana, a small
village in the North of Israel, is an excellent place to
film and to visit. Its narrow roads and peaceful surroundings,
add to the atmosphere of the village, which is significant
in Christian tradition.
The famous story of Jesus’ first miracle takes place
at a wedding in the Galilean village of Cana, thought to
be near the modern day Cana village (or Kfar Kana in Hebrew),
not far from Nazareth. According to the story in the New
Testament, when Jesus learned that there was no more wine
for the celebration he told the servants to fill the pitchers
with water and when the drink was served the guests found
that a miracle had turned the water into the finest wine.
There is a painting on the walls of the Wedding Church that
portrays the miracle that took place at Cana.
There are constantly archeological excavations taking place
in this area, and it is advisable to look into interesting
nearby digs if you are filming in Cana.
