Armchair Tour of the Land of Jesus

Arm Chair Tour of the Land of Jesus

Cana, Nazareth - Where Jesus' Performed his First Miracle

As i walked into Cana i noticed this town was small and dirty, i felt like i was in the wrong place. We stayed in a small but cosy inn. Although it was unpleasant we appreciated the cultural heritage of the building. Entering through the low wall passage way to the front door with matching windows besides each other.

The next morning we awoke early. People were gathering by the church as it was Sunday morning. Families dressed at their best, it must have been a large celebration. We moved with the crowd into the foyer of the church. The walls were made of brick and the stained glass windows shined in the early morning sun. The priest became with a prayer standing at the top of the altar. everyone listened. it was so peaceful, you could hear the birds singing as they danced in the trees outside. the air was warm and smelt of freshly baked bread. When the ceremony concluded everyone returned to the streets. We wondered down to the market where people were trying to sell of kinds of goods. There were so many different jams spreads. the fruit was freshly picked and tasted devine and homely. That was the end of our journey at Cana as we returned home. It was a lovely experience and i would love to go back.
