divine manifestation
Deity made visible
Divine manifestation is the visible or tangible appearance of a god, spirit, or sacred presence in the physical world.
The term covers everything from burning bushes to miraculous healings to the incarnation of Christ.
In theological contexts, it describes moments when the divine breaks through into ordinary experience: The faithful gathered, hoping to witness a divine manifestation.
