A hierophany is anything that manifests the sacred. "...some object close at hand, or something as large as the earth itself, a divine figure, a symbol, a moral law or even an idea..." (Page 26 Eliade, Mircea. Patterns in Comparative Religion.)

An example of hierophany is the burning bush encountered by Moses in The Bible. In this event, God revealed Himself to Moses through a miraculous manifestation in the form of a burning bush that was not consumed by the flames, signifying a sacred presence and communication.
