Cana is a tiny, insignificant village on the slopes of the Galilean hills. It was just down the road from Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth.

If the base of the building is not straight and solid, the entire structure is in jeopardy. It matters not what elaborate furnishings and decorative work is done on the top floors of a structure if the foundation is flawed.
