There is a place for a miracle in the life of each of us, and sometimes these miracles happen in reality. Sometimes we find information that in such and such a year, in such and such a place and with such and such a person, an unheard-of miracle happened, and often many of us do not believe in this, since we, as adults, believe that miracles does not happen, but very in vain. It is logical that we do not believe in what is not visible with our own eyes, but you should believe in at least 10 truly amazing stories that are waiting for you next.
Saint Clelia Barbieri
Clelia Barbieri was born in Italy in 1874. She helped found the Minor Sisters of the Virgin Mary of Sorrows, a women's monastic congregation, and at 23 she was a very influential person.

A year after her death, while the sisters were singing high voice filled the church, merging with their voices. Since then, her voice has always echoed them in prayers. They say that Clelia's voice can still be heard within the walls of her church.
Martin de Porres
Martin de Porres was common man who worked like all the other poor and sick people of Peru. During his lifetime, many miracles were attributed to him: levitation, magical healings and the ability to stay in two places at the same time. For example, in 1956, a stone fell on a man's leg and crushed the bone. He developed gangrene and was diagnosed with hepatitis. Doctors were going to amputate her leg, but one woman prayed over her all night. The next day, when the bandages were removed, the leg was unrecognizable. The amputation was no longer necessary.
Michael Crow's heart failure
At 23, Michael Crow suffered from a condition called acute myocarditis. His heart was only 10 percent functional, and it harmed the whole body. A transplant was needed, otherwise he would not have survived. However, doctors categorically ruled out the possibility of a transplant, considering it too risky. An hour after the decision of the doctors, his blood pressure rose, and a little later the left chamber of his heart began to work on its own. An MRI scan showed that there was not a single scar on the heart. Now the young man has already been discharged from the hospital and is completely healthy.
19 year old coma
In 2007, Jan Grzebski woke up from a 19-year-old coma to find that Poland was no longer under communist rule and that everyone now had mobile phone. But the most amazing thing is that he was able to survive such a long coma, because the doctors said that he would live no more than a few years. Yang credits his wife for taking care of him all these years and moving his body for several hours a day, thanks to which he avoided bedsores.
Miracle in Lanciano
In the 7th century AD, a monk in the Italian town of Lanciano questioned the doctrine of transubstantiation (the Catholic teaching that the wine and bread of believers are the blood and body of the Lord). Once, when he read the words of transubstantiation, wine and bread really turned into blood and meat. He told other monks about this, then this blood and meat were placed in a special container and are still a relic among Catholics.
mysterious voice
In 2005, Lynn Jennifer Grosbeck lost control and her car fell into the river, flying off the road. In the back seat was the one and a half year old daughter of a young woman. Lynn died instantly, and the girl hung upside down over ice water but was still alive. She spent 12 hours like this. Four policemen who arrived at the scene of the accident claim that they heard distant voice asking for help. Finding a little girl, they rescued her. No one understands how she could survive such an accident.
Church cures cancer
At 57, Greg Thomas found out he had terminal cancer. He lost his job and was already ready to say goodbye to his family, not hoping to get out. One day he was walking his dog and came across an abandoned church. Not knowing what to do with himself, he decided to restore this church and asked the city for financial assistance in exchange for him rebuilding the temple on his own. After the church was restored, it turned out that the disease receded.
Virgin Mary of Guadalupe
Apparitions of the Virgin Mary have occurred throughout world history, in 1531 she appeared to the Mexican peasant Juan Diego. The Mother of God told him to ask the bishop to build a temple. Diego went to the bishop, but he did not believe him and demanded proof. Then the Virgin Mary ordered Diego to pick roses on a barren hill and put them in his cloak. Having done so, he took these roses to the bishop, and, unfolding the cloak, saw there the image of the Virgin. This portrait has survived to this day in excellent condition.
Saint Joseph of Copertino
Saint Joseph of Copertino liked to levitate. It is said that he defied gravity more than seventy times, he had to restrain himself in order to stay on earth. Today he is considered the patron saint of aviators.
imperishable bodies
Catholics and Orthodox Greeks believe that the bodies of some saints do not decompose, or their decomposition is slowed down due to divine intervention. Embalmed or mummified bodies cannot be considered incorruptible, those who achieve this status are often put on display.

And someone pretends not to believe, but still believes in the depths of his soul, hiding this “strangeness” behind pragmatism and skepticism. Heroes best books about faith in a miracle, they strove for it, hoped for it, some hoped for fate, others made incredible efforts, but most importantly, none of them gave up.

Or maybe this whole world was invented for their love?
Jamaican-born Nicola Youn has only published a handful of novels, and she already has such a solid “reserve” literary awards and nominations! The writer considers herself a complete romantic and unconditionally believes in love. This is what she tries to convey to her readers. Yun's book "All This World" tells about the girl Maddy, who suffers from a rare mental illness that does not allow her to communicate with the outside world and forever locked her recluse in the apartment. Maddie has a minimal social circle: a mother and a nurse who looks after the patient. One day the heroine will see a handsome guy through the window and fall in love.

Providence: fate plays a man ...
The Frenchwoman Valerie Tong Cuong, a writer and musician who gave us a meeting with the characters of the book "Providence", speaks with readers about faith in a miracle and a new chance for happiness. In 2008, in the author's homeland, he was recognized best novel of the year. The characters of Tong are very different: a terminally ill architect, an aging producer, a woman who is afraid of losing her job (she needs to feed her children), and a dark-skinned lawyer - but their destinies will be intertwined. Someone in heaven clearly favors these people and will help them understand themselves and their problems. The main thing is to believe!
It just doesn't work together
Other French writer, Anna Gavalda, has long won authority both in her country (where she was instantly dubbed the “new Francoise Sagan”) and in the world. Her novels are recognized as bestsellers, but many consider the book "Just Together" to be the best. The restless girl Camilla, who has an artistic gift, ruins herself in hard work: she cleans the endless offices of a large company. Chef Frank is angry at the whole world because he has to stand for days at a red-hot stove, and then rush to his grandmother in a nursing home (the old woman cannot serve herself). Philibert, an almost impoverished aristocrat with the soul of a poet, but unsightly and stuttering, vegetates in a too spacious apartment - family value, expensive real estate that can be sold at any time. It is this apartment that will unite the heroes and, having gone through misunderstanding and conflicts, believing in themselves (and a little in a miracle), they will become happy. There is a good film adaptation of the novel with Audrey Tautou and Guillaume Canet.
Return of Samuel Lake to his native land
If you are a priest who has been left without a job, but you have a duty, a family and children, you should not lose faith. Sam Lake did not allow himself to despair, although moving to a new place (or rather, to his wife's homeland) was difficult for the family. But the offspring are happy: they can frolic on the old farm of their grandfather and grandmother, without thinking about what the neighbors will say (it turns out, being the children of a clergyman is not so easy). Most of the attention in Jenny Wingfield's novel "The Return of Samuel Lake" is given to the daughter of the hero Swann. It is through her eyes that we will look at a serene summer afternoon, experience losses together with the girl that cannot be replenished. However, light cannot forever yield to darkness. So Swan will not lose faith in a miracle (and in a good start in people). Wingfield's prose has been compared to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and for good reason: it is also a wonderful work about southern life.
Solomon Northup's 12 Years as a Slave
In 2017, EKSMO republished Solomon Northup's novel 12 Years a Slave. This is very Old book, which first saw the light in 1853 and forced Americans to reconsider their attitude towards the slave trade and slavery in general.

When the free dark-skinned northerner Solomon, kidnapped by villains, had no strength left, and the hope of salvation was almost exhausted, faith in a miracle helped him survive with a cruel slave owner. The miracle came in the form of a simple hard worker who saved Northup. You are well aware that the book was filmed and became best movie year, winning an Oscar.
Mountains between us, and under us - the abyss

Cinema is based on novel of the same name Martin Charles, however, the heroine Ashley was renamed Alex, but is this the main thing? The plot remains the same: two strangers, hurrying - one on business (he is a doctor), the other - to his wedding, use the services of a private jet (regular flights are delayed). They still do not know that they will not reach their destination: the plane will crash in the mountains, and the passengers will wander along the snow-covered mountain paths in the hope of salvation and with faith in a miracle.

1. Darzava or "Gates of Hell" is a gas crater in Turkmenistan that has not stopped burning for 40 years. This "great" creation is the work of Soviet engineers who were looking for oil in the 70s of the last century. (Photo: Tormod Sandtorv/Flickr.com).
During the drilling of wells, part of the soil, under which a large gas field turned out, failed. Fearing toxic fumes, Soviet engineers did nothing smarter than setting the gas on fire to get rid of it. So it has been burning for four decades, never ceasing to horrify and remind how destructive people can be.
2. Fly Geyser or Fly Geyser. In fact, this is a permanent thermal spring, which again appeared due to human intervention. In 1916, drilling work was carried out in that place, and in the 60s The groundwater with mineral inclusions from wells erupted to the surface, creating this amazing creation.

3. The waters of Rio Tinto in Spanish Andalusia are the color of blood. This water has a pH of 2, which makes it almost impossible for most of the organisms that exist on Earth to live in it. In fact, this river is poisonous. But why, you ask? The thing is that for centuries copper, silver, gold and other minerals were mined in this region, as a result of which the river was polluted. The red color of its waters is due to copper, which is contained in it in large quantities. (Photo: RioTinto2006/WikimediaCommons). 
4. The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is a large pool filled with salty geothermal water. The warm lagoon appeared thanks to human activity, namely, the nearby Svartsengi geothermal power plant, which needed somewhere to store excess pumped water. The Blue Lagoon is close to Iceland's international airport and is one of the island's biggest tourist attractions. It is believed that its highly mineralized water has a beneficial effect on the skin. (Photo: Michelle Lee / Flickr.com). 
5. Emerald Lake in Szczecin (Poland) gets its name from the color. The emerald shade of the water is due to the high content of calcium carbonate, which is formed as a result of the breakdown of calcite. The lake is located right on the site of an ancient mine of chalk and marl. During mining, on July 16, 1925, the miners reached a layer of sand, from which water began to ooze. The mine was partially flooded, and the remains of mining equipment can still be found at the bottom of the lake. Fortunately, all the workers managed to escape during the flood.

6. This huge yellow mountain is not the beginning of the construction of the pyramid, but a dump formed as a result of the extraction of oil sands. The by-product of this process is sulfur, which miners don't quite know what to do with. Syncrude employees came up with a brilliant idea: to make an unusual, but very attractive pyramid out of sulfur. (Photo: Gord McKenna/Flickr.com). 
7. Desert in the middle of Europe? The Błędowska Desert is a huge area of floating sands, covering an area of 33 square kilometers (and worst of times 150 square kilometers), which lies on the border of the Silesian Upland and the Father's Plateau in Poland. It was formed as a result of human activities, including due to deforestation and the development of the mining industry and metallurgy. Level ground water there fell so low that the plants stopped growing. (Photo: Dominique Cappronnier/Flickr.com).
