    fish? Once, when Jesus was teaching a big crowd of

    started to get late. The people were hungry, and they anything to eat.

    Jesus told His disciples to

    feed them. But feed them

    what? All they had was five

    loaves of bread and twofish! And there were more

    than five thousand hungry

    people! Christ blessed the

    food and then there was

    enough for everybody to

    eatplus leftovers!

    Long, long ago, only a few

    hundred years after Christ lived on earth, some Chris

    church to celebrate this miracle. They built it close to

    miracle happened, close to the Sea of Galilee. It is cal

    of the Multiplication, because Jesus multiplied the lit
