Abstrakt

In the theological-biblical literature the category of a sign has been accepted to define a miracle. According to the author a sign, which by nature refers to another reality, does not express the presence of God in a miracle too well. Therefore, he makes a hypothesis that the notion of a miracle as a sign should be supplemented with the category of a symbol in the more recent understanding. Rejecting the traditional interpretation of a symbol as connoting another reality, sometimes tantam out to a myth, the author discusses the notion of a symbol as combining two heterogeneous realities. In terms of this interpretation the notion contains and expresses another reality. In that sense it could be helpful in defining a miracle, which would be a union of God and man, because in a miracle God acts first of all in man, through man and for man. Through the extraordinary and visible action of God man would enter the specific union with God and would become a new being.
