CANA, of Galilee, the scene of Christ's first miracle (John ii.), and an act of healing (John iv.) ; also the home of Nathanael (John xxi. 2). The evidence favours identification with Kefr Kenna about 4 m. N.N.E. of Nazareth on the road to Tiberias; pop. 1,175 (682 Moslems). There are Latin and Greek churches, the former occupying the site of an ancient basilica claimed to be of the age of Constantine. Mosaic paving with an early Hebrew inscription has been discovered below its floor. The alternative identification, K/i rbet Kdnd, is a ruined site 9 m. N. of Nazareth with rock-cut tombs and cisterns but possessing no spring.
