Scholars consider that the village of Cana located in South Lebanon is most likely the one mentioned in the gospels as Cana Al-Jalil, the town of Jesus’ first miracle. There, the Cana Al-Jalil wedding took place in “The Site of the Jars” that is believed to be “The Site of the Miracle,” 2km away from “The Site of the Statuary” and “The Sacred Cave” where a community of Christians found refuge escaping persecutions in the early centuries.

Historians have different opinions regarding the identity of the owner of the Maqam, which has given the town the name of "Mohaybib". Some attribute the Maqam to Benyamin Ben Yacoub while others say that Houbab Ben Yathrun is most likely buried there. The Maqam, dating back to more than 2000 years, is composed of two rooms: one housing the tomb topped by a dome and the other is the prayer hall. The Maqam, renovated in 2006, is made of arches with carefully dressed rocky masonry complying with the traditional architectural beauty of religious Maqams.

Prophet Omran lived in the first century BC, and is believed to be the descendant of Prophet Solomon, son of David.

Prophet Omran died and was buried in Mount Galilee when his daughter, the Virgin Mary, was still a little girl. The Maqam consists of two sections: the lower section is submerged underground while the upper section is a room that includes the tomb accessed through a one-step stair. Recent excavations, made next to the Maqam, has revealed the remains of an ancient building that most likely belong to an ancient church.

Prophet Ayoub (Job) Maqam

Sect: Druze

Ayoub, (Job), is among the Prophets mentioned in the Holy Quran along with his prophecy. He was known for his good qualities, faith and wealth. When he became seriously ill, intensely grieving the loss of his children and wealth, he raised his head towards the sky and called the Lord asking for mercy, and God answered his prayers. The Maqam’s importance lies in the fact that it is the place where Ayoub lived there for a while during his illness, and where water broke by God’s will and he drank and bathed and was healed.
