Miracle Play, in English medieval times a synonym for
mystery play; in France the term was used for plays in which the central incident was a miraculous intervention in human affairs by the Virgin Mary or one of the saints, St Nicholas being a favourite subject. The chief surviving examples of these anonymous
saint plays, as they were called in England, are found in a 14th-century collection of forty
Miracles de Notre-Dame par personnages.
