Though Mystery and Miracle in differentiation, Mystery plays started its journey in 12th century of Middle age. As per the rules, Mystery plays enacted and played strictly by Clergymen in the Latin language.

 Later, due to the strict actions taken by clergy and pope of the Holy Church, Mystery plays started to disconnect its relationship with the church. Local and small towns borrowing this genre within itself.

 The successful part of Mystery plays stepping itself by using local vernacular languages. Local men took it as a chance to play Mystery plays by introduced at Corpus Christi Festival (1311) which was the festival celebrated just after 57 days of Easter.
