feeding the multitude
Nourishing many mouths
Feeding the multitude refers to the biblical miracle where Jesus fed thousands of people with only a few loaves of bread and fish.
The phrase appears in expressions about providing for many with scarce resources, or more ironically, about the challenge of satisfying a large hungry crowd: Thanksgiving dinner felt like feeding the multitude this year.
