Well, apparently, I've been bit by a fondness for the "unexplained" in Christianity as of late. Here's one about the famous Ley Line of St. Michael which creates a "sword" across Europe to Jerusalem.

The mysteriuos line of St. Michael Archangel. Marked by 7 monasteries.


In the interest of fairness I have included a skeptic's explanation:

"Physicist Luca Amendola noted that the deviation of these sites from the loxodrome that allegedly connects them ranges between 14 km and 42 km. The alignment is likely to be a coincidence, as Europe has a high density of religious buildings and because of the prominence of Saint Michael in Christianity."

It's been my observation that the skeptic's faith in "Coincidence" often eclipses the Christian's faith in God.

Awesome!  Thank you for sharing that.

Yes, total coincidence. IIRC, Chesterton has a close statement to the quote above in Orthodoxy.

We recite the St Michael's prayer in our church before the priest's procession at the end of the mass in our church.

"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."... or something like that.


St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle,
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.  
May God rebuke him we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host,
by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Just as anyone in battle hears the voice of his friends in the din of the day, does not God's servant Angels, draw tear and tug at his belt awaiting God's voice.... Loose!

The war which satan started, rages yet.  Although defeated, he still tears and shreds in his beguiling anger.  It was Michael, the Archangel who was the tip of God's justice.... and remains today.

For those who have seen, none can forget
For those defy, none will remember

To Jesus Christ be all the Praise and Glory!  Forever! Amen.
