The Miracles of Antichrist is a philosophical novel by Selma Lagerlöf. Written as a love story between a young socialist and atheist Gaetano and Donna Micaela who is a Christian, the novel in fact represents author's criticism of socialism. The plot of the novel was inspired by a Sicilian legend: "When Antichrist comes, he shall seem as Christ", and the story centers around the antichrist in the form of a statue that Micaela prays to which seems to perform apparent miracles that are indistinguishable from those of Christ.
