THE YORK MYSTERY PLAYS
THE CREATION
.
On the first day God created light in the darkness
Operating the props behind the scene
Moving on to another street
THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Eve tempts Adam
The people watch as Adam falls
Noah and the flood
God appears to Noah and tells him he is displeased with the world
Eventually the ark is built just as the rains are coming
Noah's wife objects to boarding the ark
The rain falls and the land floods
Noah searches the sky for a break in the storm
The dove is a sign that the rains are stopping. Noah and his family are saved
Musicians lead the troupe off to their next location in the town
The Nativity
Mummers waiting for their cart to be pulled into position
The two-sided cart
Behind the scenes
Hearing of Herod's threat to kill all newly born male babies
The Last Supper
The three bakers of the Guild of Bakers
supporting the Last Supper troupe
Jesus breaks bread with his disciples
...and explains that this is his body and blood that is shed for them
Judas takes his leave to betray Jesus
The bakers drag the cart to the next location
The Crucifixion
Jesus is nailed to the cross
They raise the cross into position
A boy looks on in dismay
A soldier prepares to pierce his side
The body of Jesus is brought down from the cross
Doomsday
The End
