Israel finds Jesus miracle sites

JERUSALEM - Just in time for Christmas, Israeli archeologists unveiled ancient sites where Jesus is believed to have performed two of his most celebrated miracles.

In Jerusalem, the pool where Jesus is said to have cured a man's blindness has been found under several yards of dirt.

According to John's Gospel, Chapter 9, verses 1-12, Jesus performed this miracle at the Siloam Pool in the City of David just south of the Temple Mount.

Archeologists revealed yesterday they found an impressively paved assembly area and water channel that brought rainwater to the Siloam Pool in the Second Temple period when Jesus lived.

In Galilee, archeologists discovered the location where the Gospels say Jesus turned water into wine 2,000 years ago.

After 50 years of searching in the Arab town of Kfar Kana, the latest dig uncovered the remains of a town inhabited around the time of Jesus.

Researchers found the remnants of buildings, grinding stones, cooking ovens, stone vessels and several Jewish mikvahs, or ritual baths, one nearly 7 feet high with an arched roof. Still buried is a large structure that may be the remains of an ancient synagogue.

Many of the first century writings of the church have been lost.

Any many of them have been found.
