Church of the Multiplication in Tabgha, Israel
About this image
The mosaic of the fish and loaves is laid next to a large rock, which has caused some New Testament scholars to speculate that the builders of the original church believed that Jesus stood on this rock when he blessed the fish and loaves just before the feeding of the crowd who had come to hear him. The Church of the Multiplication was the earliest building at Tabgha, a small chapel built in the 4th century A.D.
