Renewing of Wedding Vows at Cana

We just visited Cana and 12 couples on the trip renewed their wedding vows. Over 400 years of marriage among those couples (turning water into wine was just the start of the miracles) . Outside of the church we were able to purchase Cana Wine for the reception. As an extra stop we are going to be touring a diamond cutting factory in Tiberias later today. That way all of the husbands can purchase a suitable token of their appreciation for their wives. Below is pictured Joe and Nancy Karabinus (St. Peter's) after the renewal ceremony.

We are at the "Jesus Boat" museum in the Kibbutz Ginosar. It is a 2000 year old boat that was discovered in the Sea of Galilee in 1986 during a drought.

  1. My parents are visible in the photo taken in the Church at Cana. Their granchildren thought it was very cool to see them.

    Enjoying the updates,

    Grace and Max think it's pretty cool to see Grandma and Grandpa on a web site.

  9. We stayed at Kibbutz Ginosar and walked over to the Jesus Boat Museum after supper one night. I got up early one morning to watch the fishermen on the Sea of Galilee.
