This is the only miracle that is described in detail in all four
gospels. Fifty-nine years ago I was starting out in my Korean parish on the
town of Yang Yang. A priest from the American Second Division received five big
cardboard boxes of Christmas toys for kids, and since he had no kids at the
front, he dropped all the toys off at my house.
We had a bulletin board by the side of the road, so I used it to
post my drawings of the five thousand people sitting on the grass, of the
disciples coming down the slope with wicker baskets of bread, and of Jesus
passing out the baskets from the top of the hill. I posted a notice that kids
could win prices by coming to my house and drawing winning copies of my
pictures.
The boxes of toys contained a full supply of crayons and plenty
of snack material. So, although the big contest drew short of five thousand,
our miracle of the crayons was also quite successful.
