The belief in miracles, as extraordinary supernatural incidents, was central in Byzantine culture. Miracles were believed to occur in a variety of contexts, including the healing of diseases and disabilities, exorcism of demons, protection from perils, etc. They were closely associated with the cult of saints, and feature centrally in hagiography, liturgy, and art.
