Scene 2 Miriam is 10 years old.
The day is long, sun is hot and many people are gathered on a large hillside, listening to Jesus. Miriam and Orna run about, and are near by the conversation among the disciples concerning feeding the thousands who are hungry with just the 5 fishes and four loaves. The girls are quizzical, since they prepare meals at home and understand the problem of providing for such a crowd. Jesus feeds the 5,000 gathered there. The girls are astounded and amazed and hungry – they eat!

Miriam is with her friend Orna’s family, like a second family to her own. The
children play together, helping along the younger sister, Refaela, who has
palsy. We hear many giggles and delighted running about. They take a small
excursion, unusual because the children are included, and not easy because the
Refaela walks poorly, so they have a portage for her. They have come to
see the Nazarene speak. He is said to perform miracles. They hope he can
heal Refaela.
