Thaumaturge

Thaumaturgy (US: /ˈθɔːməˌtɜːrdʒi/, from Greek θαῦμα thaûma, meaning "miracle" or "marvel" and ἔργον érgon, meaning "work") is the capability of a magician or a saint to work magic or miracles. Isaac Bonewits defined thaumaturgy as "The use of magic for nonreligious purposes; the art and science of 'wonder working;' using magic to actually change things in the physical world." It is sometimes translated into English as wonderworking. A practitioner of thaumaturgy is a thaumaturge, thaumaturgist or miracle-worker.

In original Greek writings, the term thaumaturge referred to several Christian saints. This is usually translated into English as "wonderworker": a saint through whom God works miracles, not just occasionally, but as a matter of course. It was even said that God raises up not more than one every century. Famous ancient Christian thaumaturges include Saint Gregory of Neocaesarea, also known as Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus (ca 213-270), Saint Menas of Egypt (285 - ca 309), Saint Nicholas of Myra (270-343), Saint Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), Saint Philomena, Saint Ambrose of Optina (1812-1891), Saint Gerard Majella (1726-1755) and Saint John of Kronstadt (1829-1908). The Carmelite Bishop of Fiesole, Saint Andrew Corsini (1302–1373), was also called a thaumaturge during his lifetime.
