Loaves and Fish Detail

View of the mosaic below the altar of the church at Heptapegon/Tabgha that commemorates the multiplication of the five loaves and two fishes in the story of the feeding of the five thousand (Mark 6:33–44).

Two fish flank a basket containing four loaves—another (real) loaf is often placed on the altar above this to bring the total to five loaves (Mark 6:38) and two fish.
