Great miraclesThis timeline sets out some of the public miracles of Christian history in date order, from the ministry of Jesus to the cures of Lourdes. Each entry gives the words of the record and, where the record states them, the witnesses, the inquiry and the ruling of the Church. The last entries give the Church's own account of what miracles are for and how reports of them are weighed.Marian apparitionsFrom time to time people have reported that the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to them. In some cases a bishop or the Holy See has investigated and given a judgment. This timeline sets out a number of those cases in date order: who reported the apparition, who examined it, and what the Church ruled, each in the words of the Church body that keeps the record. It also gives the Church's own rules on how much weight such events carry.Eucharistic miraclesThe Church teaches that at every Mass the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ while their appearances remain. From time to time a visible sign connected with a consecrated Host has been reported. This timeline gives a number of those reports in date order, with what the linked source says about witnesses, investigations, scientific examinations, the Church's response, and where the relic is kept. It also gives the teaching that frames them.Miracles approved for canonizationsBefore a beatification or a canonization the Church ordinarily requires a miracle, and she tests each one. This timeline first quotes the rules: the inquiry in the diocese, the board of medical experts and the vote it must reach, the theologians, the cardinals and bishops, and the decree of the Pope. It then sets out cases approved under those rules, in the order in which the healings took place, with the diagnosis and the findings as the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints reports them.
