Mystery Plays are plays that are adapted from stories in the Bible. They reached the heights of their popularity in the Middle Ages when most people were illiterate and the church was using them to teach Bible stories. Miracle plays are plays that are based on the lives of the saints. Since one had to perform miracles in order to be elevated to sainthood, plays which depicted stories about the saints' lives became known as Miracle Plays. Together they are sometimes referred to as Liturgical Plays.
