| Kfar Cana,
a location important to the history of the ancient Galilee,
is an Arab village north of Nazareth. According to the gospel
John, “Cana in Galilee” is where Jesus turned
water into wine at a wedding ceremony (John 2:11). There
are two churches in Kfar Cana commemorating Jesus’
first miracle. The main interest for filming in this peaceful
village is these two churches. The main church is the Franciscan
Wedding Church, a small church with a courtyard. In the
nave there is a fragment of a Byzantine mosaic from the
5th or 6th century. The second church is the Greek Orthodox
Church built in 1556 on the site of an earlier mosque. You
need to arrange permission in advance to film at both churches.
The village consists of narrow alleyways and is not easily
accessible by car, therefore it is suggested to walk with
your equipment.
