| Summary: | In the forthcoming work on a certain corpus of legends, stories, and legendary stories, various aspects of the thematic-motive complex of miracles that are attributed to St. Sava or being into direct connection with him are analyzed. The forms of miracles, the ways of their manifestation, and the subjects, objects, and function of miracles are pointed out. Miracles are considered through a primarily Christian-evangelical perspective in connection with the polystadial folklore character of Saint Sava, the genre qualities and sensibility of the man of folklore culture, his understanding of sin, justice, and virtue. Since the miracle in traditional culture is perceived as the influence of the other side on the other side, as a phenomenon of transcendence, and to be believed in, in this work it is not related to fiction. The relationship of miracles with the chronotope, its role in cosmization, and the organization of the world is examined. The story itself is considered as a miracle and the significance of the story and miracles for the collective.
