During what time period were biblical stories often portrayed?
We do not have any good historical record of the growth of theater during the Early Middle Ages, but we might assume the theatrical portrayals of Biblical stories developed during this time. Certainly, by the end of the period, which dated 476-1000 or so, Miracle Plays and Mystery Plays had both started to be important. The Miracle and Mystery Plays both fell out of favor during the High Middle Ages, which dated about 1000-1300. Nevertheless, these plays continued to be performed after that, and are still performed today. One church in London had plays depicting Biblical stories during the period of the tenth through sixteenth centuries. There is a link below to an article on Mystery Plays.
