In Christianity and in particular Catholicism a Eucharistic miracle is any miracle involving the Eucharist. An example of a eucharistic miracle is the invisible transformation of bread into the body and wine into the blood of Jesus Christ during a Catholic Mass or Orthodox Liturgy. However, other forms of Eucharistic miracle have also been reported such as consecrated Hosts being preserved over 250 years or surviving being thrown into fire. Some, but not all, reported miracles are accepted as such by religious authorities. Reported and accepted miracles are believed by some people, but not generally accepted as factual.
