  Miracle drama is a special kind of religious drama. The object of these plays was the heroic character. Those heroes are the sages and the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the religion. The play is based on special events related to the characters. The events brought to light for this play are untrue. Myths are events. However, these plays are about miracles. It is also how interference in the affairs of human life takes place. The play was performed mostly during the festivals of the respective sages. There were special drama groups for each of the sages. They composed the play based on a special event of the sage and performed it in front of the audience at the ceremony. The play was not as well known as the rest of the series. Nevertheless, this miracle drama is considered to be one of the most important forms of drama in medieval Europe. Thank you... 🙏
