There were as many miracles in paganism as there were in Christianity. Many of the gods and god-men were born of virgins. Dionysis turned water into wine. Hermes walked on water. Ascepius healed the sick. Athena was known as the shape-shifter because of her ability to appear in different guises. And so on.

When Christianity began to spread, carrying with it stories of miracles performed by the Church Fathers, the number of pagan miracles increased, and each side seemed to acknowledge the truth of those miracles which were claimed by their adversaries. Once Christianity had achieved political ascendancy, Christians then ceased to acknowledge the pagan miracles.
