Religious drama refers to theatrical performances that explore themes related to faith, spirituality, and moral lessons. These plays often depict stories from sacred texts, such as the Bible or Quran, and aim to convey religious teachings or values. They can be performed in various settings, including churches, community centers, and festivals, and may involve both professional actors and community members. Historically, religious drama has roots in medieval Europe, where it was used to educate the public about Christian beliefs through mystery plays and morality plays. Today, it continues to evolve, incorporating modern themes while maintaining its focus on spiritual exploration and ethical dilemmas.
