Cana

The Marriage at Cana or Wedding at Cana is one of the miracles of Jesus in the Gospels and the first miracle in the Gospel of John. John 2:1-11 reports

that while Jesus was attending a wedding in Cana with his disciples the hosts ran out of wine. Jesus' mother (unnamed in John's Gospel) told Jesus, "They

have no more wine," and Jesus replied, "Dear woman, why do you involve me? My time has not yet come." Jesus' mother then said to the servants,

"Do whatever he tells you" (John 2:3-5). Jesus ordered the servants to fill the empty containers with water and to draw out some and take it to the chief

waiter. After tasting the water that had become wine, and not knowing what Jesus had done, he remarked to the bridegroom that he had departed from the

custom of serving the best wine first by serving it last (John 2:6-10). John concludes his account by saying: "This was the first miracle of Jesus and it was

performed to reveal his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him (John 2:11)"

Mount Tabor

Mount Tabor (Hebrew: Har Tavor) is a hill rising 500m (1640 ft) above the Jezreel Valley in the region of Galilee. Due to its strategic location along the

north-south road, it has been an important fortress since ancient times. Christians have identified a rock atop Mt. Tabor as the place of the Transfiguration

of Christ since the 4th century AD. A round mountain with steep slopes that dominates its surroundings, with a 360-degree vantage point. At the summit,

a walled-in site houses a Greek-Orthodox church and a Franciscan monastery.
