Miracles

A miracle is defined as an event that surpasses the laws of nature, and is attributed to a divine origin. There are many miracles that have happened throughout the course of human history: the most important being the Resurrection of Christ. How many times have you seen a dead person come to life again? Never. That's what makes the Resurrection significant and also the centerpiece of the Christian Faith. A couple famous miracles include:

1. The Shroud of Turin

This is more than your ordinary Shroud. According to the Bible, this is the Shroud that was used to wrap the body of Christ when he was laid to rest in the tomb. However, recent scientific evidence proves that this could truly be the Shroud that covered Jesus as he lay dead. Carbon dating has shown an outline of a male body with wounds that seem as if the man suffered crucifixion. Furthermore, dirt particles on the Shroud match those from ancient Jerusalem. More than just a coincidence.




2. The Crossing of the Red Sea

According to the Old Testament, the Pharaoh of Egypt kept the Israelites in captivity for many years. After firmly denying to let them leave and after Ten Plagues, the Pharaoh remained firm in his decision. So, Moses (a prophet) split open the Red Sea and led the Israelites out of captivity and into the Promised Land. According to the Bible, Moses lifted his staff and the sea parted in half. After the Israelites had crossed, Moses closed the seas and drowned the Egyptian army. What a guy.
