The Ancient Miracle is a historical fiction novel written by Jane Grosvenor Cooke and published in 1906. The story is set in the ancient city of Antioch during the reign of Emperor Julian the Apostate in the 4th century AD. The main character, a young Christian woman named Eudocia, is forced to flee her home after her father is accused of treason and executed. She finds refuge in a community of Christians who are secretly practicing their faith in the city. Eudocia falls in love with a young man named Basil, who is a member of the community. However, their love is forbidden by the community's leader, who believes that romantic love distracts from their devotion to God. Eudocia and Basil must navigate their feelings for each other while also trying to survive in a city that is hostile to their beliefs. As the story unfolds, Eudocia becomes involved in a plot to save the city from a devastating famine. She discovers an ancient miracle that is said to have saved the city in the past and believes that it can be used again. Eudocia and Basil work together to uncover the truth behind the miracle and how it can be replicated. The Ancient Miracle is a tale of love, faith, and the power of miracles. It explores themes of religious persecution, the role of women in ancient society, and the importance of community. The novel is well-researched and provides a vivid portrayal of life in ancient Antioch.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
