One example of miracle plays in the origin of English drama is the "Chester Mystery Plays," which were performed in medieval times to depict biblical stories and miracles. These plays were often staged outdoors in cycles to educate and entertain audiences about religious themes. Miracle plays became popular during the Middle Ages and were an important precursor to modern English drama.

Is English drama secular in its origins?
Partly. The roots of English drama lie partly in indigenous Miracle and Mystery plays which were sacred in nature, but also in the Latin plays of Seneca, Plautus and Terence which were decidedly secular. It was when the style of the homegrown sacred plays was married with the plot structure and subject matter of the Latin plays that the English drama was born.
