Little-known wonders of the world (13 photos). Little-known wonders of the world (13 photos) Famous wonders

A miracle can mean more than just sudden ghostly visions or recovery from a serious illness. Here is a list of ten amazing and unusual wonders of the world.

Joseph Desa was an Italian Franciscan friar, canonized after his death as Saint Joseph of Cupertino. The saint is said to have spontaneous levitation, which he experienced about 70 times, including before Pope Urban VIII, and also in October 1630, during a procession in honor of another saint, Francis of Assisi. Joseph of Cupertino is considered the patron saint of pilots and astronauts.


According to the Roman Catholic Church, some organs of a deceased person can miraculously become incorruptible. These bodies remain as they were during life (without decomposition) for an infinite amount of time. One of the most famous such cases is the body of Saint Bernadette, who has been dead for more than 130 years.

Fatima


In the Cova da Iria field near Fatima, Portugal, a miracle of the sun occurred in October 1917. According to legend, on May 13, 1917, the Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children. The children saw a mysterious flash of bright light, and then the light took the form of a small woman. The woman said that new mystical visions would follow in the next 6 months, and also showed a picture of hell, which frightened the children.
The place of their mystical vision became an object of pilgrimage and in October of the same year thousands of people came there to see the Virgin Mary again. On October 13, 1917, about seventy thousand believers gathered there. Most observed mysterious light phenomena, the most spectacular of which was the “dance of the sun”: the sun broke through the clouds and began to rotate and bend towards the ground, sparkling with multi-colored lights and emitting intense heat. The mysterious vision lasted approximately 10 minutes. This miracle was officially sanctioned by the church in 1930.

Atika


A nun named Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa in 1973 had a vision of the Virgin Mary, after which stigmata appeared on one of Agnes's hands and began to bleed. In June of the same year, a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary in the church where the nun served spontaneously began to bleed in the same place. The statue continued to bleed for several years and then continue to cry. Sister Agnes was subsequently cured of her deafness without medical intervention. Scientists collected samples of the statue's blood and tears and determined that they were of human origin.


Martin de Porres was a cell attendant of the Dominican Order in Peru. He could heal the sick, but his special ability was considered to be the ability to be in two places at the same time - literally. Martin de Porres was spotted in places like Mexico and Japan while he was at home in Peru. Porres repeatedly provided evidence of his “trips.” He described in great detail places he had never been to. Martin de Porres was the first black American to be canonized by the Catholic Church in 1962.


In 1635, a girl found a small statue of a mother and child on the road and brought it home. Waking up, the girl discovered that the statue had disappeared, but was later found again in the same place. After this happened again, the girl brought the strange figurine to the priest, where it was placed in a box. But the statue disappeared this time too, and appeared on the road in the same place where it was found. As a result, this miraculous statue was placed on the altar of the temple.


In fourth place on the list of the most amazing wonders of the world is a story that happened at a Roman mass in 595. One of the women who was preparing bread for the Eucharist began to laugh at the fact that the bread and wine were the flesh and blood of Christ. Soon after, the bread miraculously turned into flesh and the wine into blood. Some of these relics are still preserved in Andechs, Germany.


One of the most recent miracles that occurred was in late 1996 in Clearor, Florida. Suddenly and without any explanation, an image of the Virgin Mary appeared on one side of the Seminole Financial Corporation building. The rainbow painting, approximately two stories high, did not disappear even after some vandals began spraying water on the building. More than 500 thousand people came to see this miracle.

Healings from Willard Fuller


Majority famous miracles associated with the healing of patients from serious or even fatal diseases. However, Willard Fuller from Louisiana became famous for his miraculous dental healings. From the 1940s to the 1970s, it purportedly cured tooth decay and other oral health problems. According to one of the patients, after treatment, gold fillings appeared in his teeth, which were not there before.

Voice of Clelia Barbieri


Clelia Barbieri is considered the youngest founder of a monastic congregation in the history of the Catholic Church. She died of tuberculosis at the age of 23. Clelia always told her parishioners that she would never leave them. For the first time, her voice was heard exactly a year after her death, sometimes it even merged with the church choir.

Seven Wonders Ancient world- list of famous ancient monuments, compiled by ancient historians and travelers, including the “father of history” Herodotus.

The list was edited several times, and its classic version was formed 2.2 thousand years ago thanks to the efforts of Philo of Byzantium. The list of “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” includes: the pyramid of Cheops, the “hanging gardens” of Babylon, the statue of Olympian Zeus, the temple of Artemis in Ephesus, the mausoleum in Halicarnassus, the Colossus of Rhodes and the lighthouse on the island. Pharos in Alexandria.

Pyramid of Cheops, Egypt

Pyramid of Cheops, or Great Pyramid is the only one of the 7 wonders of the world that has survived to this day. The age of the structure is 4500 years.

Over the course of 20 years, 120 thousand Egyptians, by the sweat of their brow, erected a grandiose pharaoh’s tomb. The Cheops pyramid is made up of 2.5 million blocks weighing 2.5 tons each. Without the use of cement or other fastening agents, the blocks are fitted so tightly to each other that the gap between them does not exceed 0.5 mm. Initially, the pyramid had a height of 147 meters, but even today, when its top is destroyed, and the most high point

located at around 138 meters, the tomb of Cheops still makes a majestic impression. For almost 4000 years, until the 14th century AD, the Pyramid of Cheops bore the title of the tallest structure in the world.

Around 600 BC Ancient Babylon roared on the territory of modern Iraq. The city reached its greatest prosperity under King Nebuchadnezzar II, who entered into a military alliance with his main enemy, Assyria, and became related to the Median king Cyaxares, marrying his daughter Amytis (Semiramis). The king ordered the famous “hanging gardens” to be laid out for his wife. The gardens were located on a four-tiered platform, reminiscent of an ever-blooming green hill.

The base of the terraces was made of stone blocks covered with a layer of reeds and filled with asphalt. Then there was a double layer of brick, and even higher - lead plates that prevented the seepage of irrigation water. A fertile layer of soil was laid on top of this structure, on which trees, palm trees, and flowers were grown. The magnificent gardens, elevated to great heights, seemed like a real wonder of the world in sultry, dusty Babylonia.

Zeus statue, Olympia, Greece In 435 BC. e. in Olympia - one of the sanctuaries of Ancient Greece - a majestic temple was built in honor of the ruler of the gods - Zeus. Inside the temple there was a huge 20-meter statue of the Olympian god seated on a throne.

The sculpture was made of wood, on top of which ivory plates were glued, imitating the upper naked part of the body of Zeus. The god's clothes and shoes are covered with gold. In his left hand Zeus held a scepter with an eagle, and in his right hand a statue of the goddess of victory.

Temple of Artemis, Ephesus, Türkiye

The Temple of Artemis was built in 560 BC. King Croesus of Lydia in the city of Ephesus on the coast of Asia Minor. The huge white marble temple was framed by 127 columns 18 meters high. Inside was a statue of Artemis, the goddess of fertility, made of gold and ivory.

In 356 BC. one vain resident of Ephesus, Herostratus, set fire to the temple, thus deciding to become famous and perpetuate his name. The sanctuary of Artemis was rebuilt, but in 263 it was destroyed and plundered by the Goths.

Mausoleum in Halicarnassus, Türkiye

A giant statue of the ancient Greek sun god Helios was installed at the entrance to the port of Rhodes in 292 - 280. BC e.. A slender young god, sculptured to full height, held a torch in his hand. Ships sailed between the legs of the statue. The Colossus of Rhodes stood in its place for only 65 years: in 222 BC. it was destroyed by an earthquake. The fragments of the sculpture were transported on 900 camels.
