Miracle Plays Populat in Fifteenth Century

In the fifteenth century almost every one of the great guilds acted some sort of knlracle play, usually chosen with reference to patron saint of the giiild. Inventories of these theatrical properties still exist, and include gorgeous silk and gold damasks and magnificent damascened armor. The story of St George rescuing the princess from the dragon was a very favorite subject.
