Map illustrating the location of Cana at Khirbet Qana (top), with Kefr Kenna (bottom), according to Edward Robinson's 1841 Biblical Researches in Palestine. Robinson wrote that "The monks of the present day, and all recent travellers, find the Cana of the New Testament, where Jesus converted the water into wine, at Kefr Kenna... Now as far as the prevalence of an ancient name among the common people, is any evidence for the identity of an ancient site, — and I hold it to be the strongest of all testimony, when, as here, not subject to extraneous influences, but rather in opposition to them, — so far is the weight of evidence in favour of this northern Kana el-Jelil, as the true site of the ancient Cana of Galilee. The name is identical, and stands the same in the Arabic version of the New Testament; while the form Kefr Kenna can only be twisted by force into a like shape".[1]
Khirbet Qana (Arabic: خربة قانا),[2] is an archaeological site in the Lower Galilee of Israel. It has remains of a settlement from the Hellenistic period to the Early Arab period. Findings including Hasmonean coins and ostraca using the Jewish script indicate its population in ancient times was predominantly Jewish. It has been associated with the Wedding at Cana of the New Testament.
