For those of us who sometimes see signs and wonders, there is the medieval book of psalms unearthed in an Irish bog.
Said Pat Wallace, director of the National Museum of Ireland,
"There's two sets of odds that make this discovery really way out. First of all, it's unlikely that something this fragile could survive buried in a bog at all, and then for it to be unearthed and spotted before it was destroyed is incalculably more amazing."

"In my wildest hopes, I could only have dreamed of a discovery as fragile and rare as this. It testifies to the incredible richness of the Early Christian civilization of this island and to the greatness of ancient Ireland."
Even more astonishing at this very moment in time is that the book was found open to Psalm 83 which is a prayer for the overthrow of nations that would destroy Israel.
"They say, "Come, let us destroy them that they be no more a people,
And that the name Israel be remembered no more.

"Let them be disgraced and terrified forever,
And may they be put to shame and perish."
