Khirbet Qana Khirbet Qana Khirbet Qana is an archaeological site in the Lower Galilee of Israel. It has remains of a settlement from the Hellenistic to early Arab period. It has been associated with the Marriage at Cana of the New Testament. Khirbet Qana is one of the locations in Galilee that researchers consider as a possibility for the biblical town of Cana, where Jesus turned water into wine at the Marriage at Cana. Crusader’s maps have been cited as evidence identifying Khirbet Qana with the biblical Cana. The writings of Burchard of Mount Sion have also linked Khirbet Qana with Cana.
The Wedding at Cana soldiers horizontally cut the canvas of "The Wedding Feast at Cana", and rolled it like a carpet, to be re-assembled and re-stitched in France. In 1798, along with other plundered works of art, the 235-year-old painting was stored in the first floor of the Louvre Museum; five years later, in 1803, that store of looted art had become the "Musée Napoléon" — the personal art collection of the future Emperor of the French. In the early 19th century, after the Napoleonic Wars (1803–15), the repatriation and restitution of looted works of art was integral to the post–Napoleonic conciliation treaties. Appointed
