miracle
Inexplicable blessed event
A miracle is an extraordinary event that seems to defy natural laws, typically attributed to divine intervention: It would take a miracle for him to survive.
Religious traditions center on miracles—healings, resurrections, parting seas.
The word extends to any remarkable or improbable occurrence: It's a miracle we found parking.
This casual use retains a sense of grateful astonishment at unlikely good fortune.
