=Thaumaturga.= Filumēna is called _La Thaumaturge du Dixneuvième Siecle_. In 1802, a grave was discovered with this inscription: LUMENA PAXTE CVMFI, which has no meaning, but being re-arranged makes PAX TE-CUM, FI-LUMENA. So Filumena was at once accepted as a proper name and canonized. And because as many miracles were performed at her tomb as at that of the famous Abbé de Paris, mentioned in Paley’s _Evidences_, she was called “The Nineteenth-Century Miracle-Worker.” But who Filumena was, or if indeed she ever existed, is one of those secrets which no one, perhaps, will ever know. (See ST. FILOMENA.) =Thaumatur´gus.= Gregory, bishop of Neo-Cæsarēa, in Cappadocia, was so called on account of his numerous miracles (212-270). ALEXANDER OF HOHENLOHE, was a worker of miracles.

MAHOMET, “the prophet.” (1) When he ascended to heaven on Al Borak, the stone on which he stepped to mount rose in the air as the prophet rose, but Mahomet forbade it to follow any further, and it remained suspended in mid-air. (2) He took a scroll of the _Korân_ out of a bull’s horn.
