--SNIP-- Jim Murray, cofounder of the Ronald McDonald House, and at the time the Eagles' general manager. Murray was so devoted a Catholic that he had named his newborn son John Paul, and brought the infant to Logan Circle where the pope celebrated a Mass. More than a million people were jamming the Ben Franklin Parkway, but as the pope walked in the procession from the Cathedral to the circle right in front of them. A family friend priest held up the child, the pope noticed him and amazingly turned, placed his hand on the child's head, and blessed him - a moment captured in a photo that soon appeared on national television, and that even today can be found in Catholic homes. Murray called it the "McMiracle." Read more at http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-on-the-road/The-story-behind-a-Miracle-photo.html#ZDYxOMKcvRWAqHvc.99
