Cana of Galilee

At the Cana, we visited the Church which is over the sight of a home in which Jesus changed the water into wine. We celebrated our first Mass in the Holy Land here, a fitting renewal of the marriage covenant Jesus came to form with his bride, the Church. Then married couples renewed their marriage vows as a renewal of their sacramental sharing in the covenant – and a joyous moment it was! Beneath the Church was a view of the excavations as well as a water jar used for the Jewish rites of purification or used to store wine.
