What miracle happened among us?

Each year, the three religions celebrate their feasts alongside one another: Hannuka, Christmas and al-Adha (the Feast of the Sacrifice). In each of the great books, the Quran, the New Testament and the TaNaKh, there are stories about light, Messianism, ascension into heaven, and resurrection.

The feasts of feasts invites us to a trialogue about what is common, similar and different among the cultures. What is considered a miracle, to what extent is the miraculous central to the religious culture and the daily lives of each of the three religions, and whether miracles still occur for us today?
