Answer :

Plays based on the lives of saints were known as miracle plays.

The correct answer is: Miracle Plays

With the mystery play and the morality it forms part of the vernacular drama of the Middle Ages. It' also called Saints Play as it presents the life of a saint in a real or fictitious way, this included the miracles and martyrdom. It's origin comes from the 10th and 11th century in which liturgical offices were used to enhance calendar festivals. By the 13th century they were divorced from church services as they become vernaculized and filled with elements that were not part of the church tradition, they were then celebrated only un public festivals.
