religious tales
Faith-based narratives
Religious tales are stories drawn from or inspired by religious traditions—accounts of miracles, saints, prophets, or divine intervention.
The term often implies narratives meant to instruct or inspire faith rather than strict doctrinal texts: The book collects religious tales from around the world.
Such tales may be canonical scripture, apocryphal legends, or folk traditions shaped by belief.
