Polish term or phrase: zjawienie
...daj mi noża - nie zabiję cię, ale naznaczę miejsce święte, gdyż na tej puszczy będzie zjawienie na chwałę Panu Bogu.

To fragment legendy spisanej w XIXw. Te słowa wypowiada duch biskupa krakowskiego Stanisława do niejakiego Sochy, młodziana o osobliwej urodzie. "Zjawienie" polegało na rozlicznych cudach: gałązka brzozy wszczepiona przez ducha biskupa w sosnę rosła sobie spokojnie przez wiele lat, zanotowano liczne przypadki uwolnień od opętania, aż wreszcie tenże sam Socha ujrzał w tym miejscu jasność wielką i biskupa "przy świetle licznej asystencji mszę odprawiającego".

Any ideas? :)

Re. your question: I would say so :-) How would the whole sentence sound - may I have a look?

Would this work in your text and fit its register?

'I shall mark this place as holy, for here in this forest shall the glory of God be made manifest'

Or:

'for here in this forest shall be made manifest a sign to the glory of God'

Asker: it's a noun here - will manifestation be ok?

Asker: I like the first sentence better, as it's more general - there was more than one sign. The register is right. Thank you :)
