incarnations

An incarnation is when God or a god becomes human. This can also happen in stories and myths.

In many religions, including Christianity, an incarnation is when a divine being takes on human form. Think of it like a person putting on a costume, but instead they're becoming the actual character. For example, Jesus was said to be the incarnation of God, because he came to earth as a human. In other cases, an incarnation can also refer to a legendary or mythical figure who is said to have become human.
