Liturgical drama has deep roots in Christian worship, emerging in the medieval church as a way to bring scripture to life through theatrical storytelling. Originally performed in Latin within the church, these sacred dramas evolved into more elaborate productions, engaging communities with reenactments of biblical narratives such as the Nativity, Passion, and Resurrection. Over time, they laid the foundation for modern religious theater, preserving the power of storytelling as a means of spiritual reflection. We hope you will join us this Sacred Night!
