A
miracle is an unexpected event attributed to divine intervention. Sometimes an event is also attributed (in part) to a
miracle worker,
saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature. Others suggest that God
[vague] may work
with the laws of nature to perform what people perceive as miracles.
[1] A miracle is often considered a fortuitous event: compare with an
Act of God.
In casual usage, "miracle" may also refer to any statistically unlikely but beneficial event, (such as the survival of a natural disaster) or even which regarded as "wonderful" regardless of its likelihood, such as birth. Other miracles might be: survival of a terminal illness, escaping a life threatening situation or 'beating the odds.' Some coincidences are perceived to be miracles.
