There are 3 definitions but because of the first one, I can't really use the 3rd, yet.

A supernatural act making the impossible possible.

An unlikely or yet unexplained event happening or a known, likely event happening but people calling it a miracle because of emotion bias, like pregnancy. (This is a useless yet the most common usage.)

The way I would prefer to use it, poetic license to "mythologize" a real event.
The fall of the Berlin Wall, "A wall that once stood looking indestructible, fell over night."
The lone protester in Tiananmen square, "Once a man carrying his shopping, became more than a man."
