is a town in Galilee mentioned several times in the New Testament, most famously as the site of Jesus' first public miracle. It is referred to as Cana of Galilee to distinguish it from other locations with the same name, such as Kanah in the tribe of Asher.
Key Biblical Events in Cana
The Wedding at Cana (John 2:1–11): While attending a wedding with His mother, Mary, and His disciples, Jesus performed His first "sign" by turning water into high-quality wine after the hosts ran out. This event revealed His glory and led His disciples to believe in Him.
Healing the Royal Official's Son (John 4:46–54): During a later visit to Cana, a royal official from Capernaum asked Jesus to heal his dying son. Jesus healed the boy from a distance, performing His second recorded miracle in Galilee.
