Accounts of marvels
Miracle stories are narratives describing supernatural events—divine healings, inexplicable rescues, or violations of natural law attributed to God or saints.
The term appears in religious contexts, where such accounts strengthen faith, and in scholarly discussion of religious texts and traditions: The gospels contain numerous miracle stories.
The phrase can carry skepticism, implying the events are legendary rather than historical.
