Israeli archaeologists are excavating a 2,000-year-old stone quarry and production center for stone vessels not far from the ancient city of Cana where Jesus performed his first recorded miracle, turning water into wine.Archaeologists uncovered the small cave during construction work for a municipal sports center by Reina’s local council.
