It is a difficult task.
I heard that the age of miracles was declared officially over by some high-ranking Church officer, maybe a Pope. Maybe my memory's just shot.

The "age of miracles" is definitely not over - if it were, we would have no more saints.

He's probably mixed up miracles and General Revelation
General revelation is the revelation that still goes on today, in which God reveals himself to every person. An example is the beauty of creation. This is one of the reasons Paul says men everywhere are without excuse -- they all see God's general revelation.

Myth.
quotes:
Pisces represents two fishes swimming in opposite directions, bound by a cord. The dualism implicit in its symbolism is a weakening principle, because the fishes strain against each other rather than support each other's motion. This adds an element of vacillation to the way a Piscean thinks and acts, but it also suggests the ability to receive influences from multiple sources which, whilst tending to undermine self-will, gives the capacity for rounded awareness and instinctive understanding of how gain in one area results from loss in another.
As such a trait suggests, Pisceans are not known for being quick and decisive problem solvers. They are apt to see everything as a dilemma, riddled with numerous options and shades of possibility. A complex and idealistic sign, Pisces sets a high store on conscience and consequence, with the fear of causing upset to others often gaining the upper hand over the desire to assert one's own interests. Highly sensitive and impressionable, Pisceans are either commended for their compassionate humility and sympathetic consideration, or berated for being weak-willed, gullible and lacking in focus.
Kindness, trust and a 'willingness to believe' has contributed to Pisces' reputation as one of the most spiritual signs of the zodiac. This is not some modern derivation from the attributes of Neptune; its ancient history is riddled with allegiance to spiritual principles, and the symbol for fishes is often taken as an icon for churches and priests, predating the sign's traditional connection with Jupiter, (itself a significator for priests and religious matters); and the adoption of the sign of the fish by Christianity, where it is seen as an emblem for gentility, peace and denial of the ego in favour of the collective's needs.
Admittedly, star signs are as much BS as christianity itself, but note the words weakness, 'willingnesss to believe', idealistic and particularly 'Highly sensitive and impressionable'.
I find these phrases ironic considering the people who actually believe he existed...

General revelation continues today, as already posted. Tongues, prophecy, miracles, et al. are done.

Can you cite the Scripture passage which supports the notion that miracles have ended,
as KellyJay requested?
Can you demonstrate that the canon was formed in 96 AD?
