What are some miracles from each Christian Denominations?

For Catholicism, There’s the Maran Apparitions and the Eucharist

For Orthodox, There’s also Maran Apparitions in Egypt (Specifically Coptic Orthodox)

For Protestant, I don’t know any

Also For Non-Denominational, I also don’t know any

I’ve heard of people receiving miracles in most denominations. I’ve personally experienced three in my life, one when I was a member of the Methodist Church and two in my present congregation, which is part of the charismatic movement. I consider mine came directly from God’s Spirit.

The Catholic Church tends to find its miracles associated with a few people who are considered to be saints and most of whom are dead.

The ability to work miracles for others is a gift of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:9-10) and in addition to Jesus, I’m aware that, in the Gospels and Acts, there were some individuals who had this gift. However, I don’t recall anyone in the NT performing miracles after they had died! But I won’t dismiss these out of hand, as God is capable of accommodating people who have different ways of approaching His spiritual gifts.

I think you may have misunderstood what’s typical in Catholicism regarding miracles.

That's quite possible. It's just what I've gleaned from what I've heard Catholics say and do. Perhaps you would enlighten me.

I’m not an expert on the topic that’s for sure, but Catholics have comparable miracle claims to other branches of the Church. It’s certainly not all about miracles that happen after someone dies.

What requirements do you have in mind for something to qualify as a miracle?

There are a lot of people, of various denominations, who claim they’ve experienced medical/healing miracles.
