Scientific research suggests that the biblical stories of Jesus walking on water may have their origins in climatic phenomena. Professor Doron Nof of Florida State University suggests that during periods of cooling that occurred in northern Israel between 1,500 and 2,600 years ago, an ice sheet may have formed on the Sea of ​​Galilee. Such ice, capable of supporting the weight of an adult human, could be a rational explanation for the familiar image that appears in the Gospels. Jesus Christ may not have walked on water as the Bible says, but rather slid across ice that formed during a period of climatic cooling, a scientific study suggests. Unusual atmospheric and water conditions may have contributed to the formation of an ice cover on the surface of the Sea of ​​Galilee. The study shows a period of climatic cooling in the area that is now northern Israel that occurred around 1,500 to 2,600 years ago. Sub-zero temperatures could have contributed to the formation of an ice sheet capabl...

The most likely theories are that the Star of Bethlehem was a planet or a combination of several planets: SupernovaPlanetary conjunction . Astronomer Johannes Kepler proposed in the 17th century that the star of Bethlehem was a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. This rare conjunction occurred in 7 BC in the constellation of Pisces, a zodiacal sign that signified a good time for the Israelites. Kepler, however, was more inclined to a supernova. John Mosley, program supervisor at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles (USA), believes that the Christmas star was a rare series of planetary conjunctions that occurred between 3 and 2 BC. "The show began on the morning of June 12, 3 BC, when Venus could be seen very close to Saturn in the eastern part of the sky," Mosley says in one of his articles. "Then Venus and Jupiter spectacularly paired up on August 12 in the constellation of Leo, which ancient astrologers associated with the destiny of the Jews. Between September 3 and...

There are several theories - some logical, some strange - that try to explain what the mysterious "star" could have been: Supernova . A supernova is a star which, as it were, enters a new phase of its life by exploding and emitting enormous amounts of light. In this case, the supernova could be one and would be too faint to be seen with the naked eye and in its new brightness could be of some significance to astrologers. The British astronomer David H. Clark and two colleagues announced in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal British Astronomical Society that the supernova explosion took place in the spring of 5 BC in the constellation Capricornus. CribComet . A comet could also be seen by astrologers - there would be obvious movement in relation to the other stars in the sky. And, depending on its trajectory, it could have sat still for a while. Since Halley’s comet appears to have appeared in 12 BC (no one knows for sure when Christ was born, although our calendar is based on...

The Gospel of Matthew is the only book in the New Testament that mentions the mysterious star. According to Matthew's description, the "star" behaved as follows: "So when they had heard the king, they departed: and behold, the star, which they had seen at its rising, led them until it came and stood over the place where the child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." (Matthew 2:9-10) The star, whatever it was, was moving. Stars, in obvious relation to other stars in the night sky, do not move. They appear to move only one way—east to west—across the night sky because of the Earth's spin. They also travel across the sky from east to west for many weeks and months as the Earth orbits the sun. The Magi saw a star in the east and followed it, probably as it moved west. We could just as easily say they followed it as it moved across the sky for a few days or weeks... but then the celestial object did something extraordinary - i...

The Star of Bethlehem, described in the Gospel of Matthew, has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Christmas. Its mysterious nature has stirred much controversy and speculation. Was it a miraculous manifestation heralding the birth of Jesus, or perhaps a natural astronomical phenomenon such as a comet, a supernova, or a conjunction of planets? In this article, we will look at various theories about the star, including proposals regarding its possible connection to astrology and hypotheses about its cosmic origins. What conclusions can be drawn from these considerations? The Star of Bethlehem: Was It a Miracle or an Extraordinary Astronomical Event? After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star at its rising, and are come to worship him." (Matthew 2:1-1) The above quote is the New Testament description of the appearance of the ...

In the small Spanish village of Garabandal, officially known as San Sebastian de Garabandal, controversial events took place between 1961 and 1965 that shocked world opinion. Four girls aged between 11 and 12 claimed to experience apparitions of the Virgin Mary and St. Michael the Archangel, delivering messages and prophecies to crowds. Despite numerous witnesses and hard-to-explain phenomena such as levitation, the Catholic Church, including diocesan bishops, denied the supernatural nature of these events. The Garabandal case remains a subject of debate and research to this day. For four years, strange things have been happening in the small Spanish village of Garabandal. Four girls claimed that the Mother of God and St. Michael the Archangel were appearing to them. In the presence of a crowd of people, they "talked" to the people who supposedly appeared to them, and passed on their "prophecies." There were phenomena that were hard to explain. There are even witnes...

There are many such miracles. Will any of the stories written by Zuchniewicz prove to be a sign from God that will make it possible for John Paul II to be beatified? - this question is asked by the author of the book, and probably by all those who loved John Paul II. However, for many people the Polish Pope has long been a saint - a mediator of God or, as John Paul II himself called himself - a hidden engine of God, modest, humble and quiet, who repeated: "Miracles are performed by God, not me. I pray, it is a mystery". Certainly, Zuchniewicz's book will not provide proof of their existence to non-believers or those who doubt miracles; there are no medical certificates documenting the inexplicable improvement in the health of the people featured in the book. However, these people exist and testify that they have experienced a miracle, including those who once did not believe in miracles or in God, and today are the most faithful of the faithful, priests, nuns, missionarie...

This is just one of a dozen or so moving stories collected by journalist and publicist Paweł Zuchniewicz in the book entitled "The Miracles of John Paul II". Zuchniewicz wrote down with extraordinary delicacy the accounts of witnesses who experienced the miraculous power of the Polish Pope, sent to him by email from Poland and around the world. There is, for example, the story of Wiktoria Szechyńska, a 23-year-old Pole who, according to her parents, was given an extra 18 years of life by John Paul II. Wiktoria was born with a tumour on her heart that grew very quickly, doctors saw no chance that the child would survive the operation, and without it they gave her a maximum of three years. When the girl was just over two, her parents managed to take her to Rome for an audience with John Paul II. "Danuta - Wiktoria's mother - would never forget this meeting. (...) The Pope took Wiktoria in his arms and kissed her. - Trust in God, he said. - It will be as God decides. Af...

The book "Miracles of John Paul II" by Paweł Zuchniewicz will soon debut on the publishing market, collecting moving stories of people who experienced the miraculous power of the Pope. The publication will include accounts of witnesses who claim that their healings were the result of John Paul II's prayers and mediation. The book, which will hit bookstores on January 26, asks questions about the nature of miracles and their meaning in the context of faith, providing both moving stories and reflections on spirituality.Through His touch, deadly diseases receded, His prayers caused the sick to rise from their beds and escape death, through Him God gave people "signs of supernatural order".

On May 12, 1990, Javier Lozano Barragan, Bishop of Zacatecas in Mexico, greeted the Holy Father at the local airport. Not far from him stood a couple with a five-year-old boy, Heron Badillo. T...
