A '''materialization''' is the [[creation]] or [[appearance]] of [[matter]] from unknown sources. Some [[miracle]]s reportedly involve materializations. The [[existence]] of the [[paranormal]] [[phenomenon]] of materializations is disputed.
==Examples of materialization==
The most famous example of a materialization in [[Christianity]] is the story of the multiplication of bread and fish by [[Jesus]] to feed a hungry crowd, according to the Bible ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_6 John 6:1-15] & [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Mark#Chapter_6 Mark 6:35-44]) or alternatively [[Genesis]] where everything came out of nothing.
The contemporary gurus Indian [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sathya_Sai_Baba Sathya Sai Baba] (SSB) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Premananda Swami Premananda] claim to perform materializations. Spontaneous [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibuthi vibuthi] (holy ash) manifestations are also reported by followers of SSB on his pictures at their homes.[1][2][3][4]
