miraculous events
Unexplainable holy occurrences
Miraculous events are happenings that seem to defy natural law or explanation—divine interventions, impossible healings, unexplained survivals.
The phrase appears frequently in religious contexts, where such events serve as evidence of God's power: The shrine commemorates miraculous events witnessed by pilgrims.
In looser usage, any extraordinary coincidence or outcome might be called miraculous: a miraculous series of events that saved the company from bankruptcy.
