Archaeologist Claims New Evidence Pinpoints Site of Jesus' First Miracle

Archaeologist Tom McCollough has presented what he describes as 'compelling evidence' that the excavation site of Khirbet Qana in Israel is the true location of Cana, where Jesus Christ performed his first miracle, turning water into wine. For years, the exact location of this biblical event has been debated, with several sites vying for the title. McCollough's research, based on recent findings at Khirbet Qana, suggests that this site holds significant historical and religious importance.

The evidence includes the discovery of an altar and other artifacts that indicate religious practices were conducted at the site. McCollough believes these findings, combined with existing archaeological data, strongly support the identification of Khirbet Qana as the biblical Cana. The artifacts suggest that early Christians may have gathered at this location to commemorate the miracle. Further excavations are planned to uncover more evidence and gain a deeper understanding of the site's history and significance.

'We have uncovered compelling evidence that supports the claim that Khirbet Qana is the true Cana,' McCollough stated. 'The artifacts we have found, including the altar and other religious items, point to a site of religious importance in the early Christian era.' The findings have sparked renewed interest in the historical accuracy of the New Testament and the potential for archaeological discoveries to shed light on biblical events.
