Mar 12 - The apostles in relief (age unknown, discovered in 1969), above a cave shrine at Qana
"Northwest of the village are rock reliefs representing rows of persons hewn in a primitive style. One of them represents a group of 13 people thought to represent Jesus and his disciples", this is part of that group. These are said to be old, but I have no clue how old or how long Qana (one of 4 candidates for the biblical Cana) has been a pilgrimage site. "The presence of [these reliefs] in a place so isolated cannot be explained without accepting that early Christians were in the area." (Lebanese archaeologist Youssef Hourani).
- "The exact location of Cana has been subject to debate. Modern scholars maintain that since the Gospel of John was addressed to Jewish Christians of the time, it isn’t likely that the evangelist would mention a place that didn't exist... According to the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1914, a tradition dating back to the 700s identifies Cana with the modern Arab town of Kafr Kanna, about 7 kms northeast of Nazareth. Recent scholars have suggested alternatives, including the ruined village of Kenet-el-Jalil (aka Khirbet Kana), @ 9 kms further north, and Ain Kana, closer to Nazareth and considered by some to be a better candidate on etymological grounds. While the village of Qana, in southern Lebanon, is considered an unlikely candidate for the location, many local Lebanese Christians believe the village to be the correct site [of course]." (Wikipedia).
- @ 1 km. outside the village there's a cave "where Jesus is supposed to have taken refuge several times with his disciples from the heat" and gave lessons.

I saw this in the Louvre in 2015 where it faces the Mona Lisa in the Salle des Etats. At 6 x almost 10 m.s it's the largest painting in the Louvre.
