Best Answer

Early in the Middle Ages, there were some secular plays.

Then there were plays called Mummings, that combined Christian and pagan elements, and did not adhere to the standards of the Church or authorities.

About the tenth century, Miracle Plays and Mystery Plays appeared, and these had Christian themes.

Not long after, Morality Plays appeared, and dealt with moral issues from a Christian point of view.

In the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages, Manners Plays appeared, which were more of a secular nature.

What was a mystery play in medieval Europe?

A mystery play was a theatrical production telling a story from the Bible. It was usually accompanied by antiphonal singing. It was distinguished from miracle plays, which told stories about miracles associated with saints, and morality plays, which told stories associated with Christian virtue. There were other types of medieval plays as well.A mystery play is a play that acts out a story from the bible, such as Noah's Ark or Adam and Eve. It also can be an allegorical play about Christian virtues. Such plays (also called moralities or miracle plays, depending on the subject matter) were one of the more significant roots of English drama. Everyman is the most famous of these plays. Shakespeare alludes to them when he has Hamlet say, "it out-Herods Herod", alluding to over-the-top portrayals of Herod in mystery plays about the birth of Jesus.reenactments of biblical stories
