Tunnel where Jesus turned water into wine

The network of mysterious tunnels excavated in Israel could be the place where Jesus turned water into wine according to the beliefs of Christians.

Archaeologists believe that the place of Cana in the Bible, where Jesus performed his first miracle, was located on the hillside about eight kilometers north of Kafr Kanna, Israel, the New York Post reported on August 30. The site was once Khirbet Qana, a Jewish village dating from 323 BC to 324. Here, archaeologists have found some convincing evidence.

According to John's Gospel, Jesus attended a wedding in Cana, but the wine was exhausted when the ceremony was about to end. Jesus asked the servant to fill the jar with water, then miraculously turned water into wine.

During the excavation process, researchers discovered a network of tunnels, where Christians follow Christianity to conduct religious rituals. They also found crosses and information related to Kyrie Iesou, the Greek phrase meaning Jesus.

Inside the tunnel network there is an altar and the shelf contains the rest of the stone vase as well as the space for five other jars. These six stone vessels are like vials of wine described in the Bible about miracles.

Tom McCollough, who directs the excavation, says there are three other locations with credible evidence that it is the place of Cana in the Bible. But none of them focused enough on convincing evidence like Khirbet Qana.

"We found a large tunnel complex used by Christian pilgrims at the end of the 5th or early 6th century. They came to honor the miracle of turning water into the wine of Jesus." , McCollough said. "This complex continues to be used by pilgrims during the Crusade in the 12th century."

Documents from the pilgrims that we have during this period describe what they did and saw when they arrived in Cana. Everything fits well with archaeological evidence found in the tunnel complex at Khirbet Qana.
