I remember being a kid in Catholic school and learning about how saints have to have 3 miracles attributed to them to be canonized. At that age I was like okay I can buy this guy Jesus was doing miracles 2000 years ago but theres no way saints are doing all these miracles constantly in the modern day that's just silly
My favorite is when Mary supposedly appeared to some kids and told them three secrets, then instructed them to reveal two of them. The Vatican then forced one of the girls to reveal the third secret after she refused to, saying Mary said it wasn’t ready.
Very serious institution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Secrets_of_F%C3%A1tima
Fatima is the direct reason church now don't belive any visions and want to curbstomp the visionaries because it can spiral out of their control and create nasty theological and more importantly political problems. While in medieval times people like bishop Thietmar had roughly 3 miraculous visions per year in his dreams and nobody batted an eye.

One might be for the devil. Two for the show. Three go!

Three is a powerful magical number.
Prime numbers are basically divine.
