The purpose of the study isto contribute to the knowledge about the religion of individuals in the Middle Ages inSweden to give a broader view on religion. Along with analysing individual religiosityan analysis of the didactical possibilities of miracle stories has also been made. Ahermeneutical method has been used to analyse the material. The analysis of the miraclestories mostly aligned with earlier research. The study found among other things that ifan illness healed after a saint was called for help, then it did not need to be an instantrecovery. If the illness was concluded not to be able to heal on its own or with humanassistance, then recovery was regarded as a miracle.
