These elements would be immediately recognizable to anyone who has even a passing knowledge of the Bible. Jesus once performed a miracle known as the “Feeding of the 5,000,” according to the Gospels.

But, as the story goes, when a huge crowd followed Jesus there, his disciples were worried that they wouldn’t be able to feed them.
