Miracle Plays are a form of medieval drama that depict the lives of saints and biblical events. These plays were performed in churches or public spaces to educate and entertain audiences about religious themes. They often featured miraculous events, hence the name "miracle." Typically, Miracle Plays were part of a larger tradition of mystery plays and morality plays, which aimed to convey moral lessons and religious teachings. They were performed in the vernacular language, making them accessible to a wider audience, and played a significant role in the development of early theater in Europe.
