Miracle Play

 
     
  A Miracle Play is a form of medieval European religious drama, retelling Bible stories or events in a saint\'s life (hence miracle). Often, and confusingly, the phrase has been used as synonymous with Mystery play: miracle refers to the content of a play and mystery to the organization responsible for staging a play. TRG SS
