The York Mystery Plays dramatized biblical stories from the creation of the world to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. They were performed annually in the city of York as part of the Corpus Christi festival. Individual short plays were presented on pageant wagons that moved through the streets, stopping at designated stations. The plays depicted stories such as the creation of Adam and Eve, the temptation and fall of man, and the life of Jesus culminating in the crucifixion and resurrection.
The document summarizes common elements found in flood myths from various cultures around the world. It provides more detail on the Sumerian flood story of Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh and compares it to the biblical story of Noah. Both involve a deity deciding to flood the earth to punish humans, warning one human who builds a boat to survive with his family and animals. After the flood, the survivor sends out birds to find land and makes a sacrifice. The document suggests these stories may have originated from historical floods but there is no evidence of a worldwide flood.
Why all the Similarities ? The Serpent and other Universal Beliefs & Symbolsniwres
The document discusses similarities found across different parts of the world related to religious and cultural concepts like flood stories, legal codes, divine figures bestowing laws, and patriarchal societies. It also extensively covers the prevalence of serpent or snake worship and symbolism globally, noting their associations with fertility, life cycles, immortality, and creation in many belief systems. Images are provided showing serpent depictions from ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, India, Norse mythology, Africa, Australia, and North and South America. Bible passages on the serpent in the Garden of Eden and Jesus being lifted up are also presented.
The document summarizes the story of the Israelites' enslavement in Egypt. It describes how the Israelites grew greatly in number but then a new pharaoh came to power who saw them as a threat. He forced them into slavery building monuments and subjected them to harsh treatment. God planned to rescue his people and bring them back to Canaan. He used Moses to demand their release, but Pharaoh refused until God sent ten plagues against Egypt. After the tenth plague killing the firstborn, Pharaoh let the Israelites go and they escaped across the Red Sea.
Israel's Man of the Year-why wolfowitz - nov-dec 2003miscott57
This document is an issue of Endtime magazine from November/December 2003. It includes summaries of articles about Judge Moore and biblical prophecy, the EU military and prophecy, and a Mideast update. It also advertises a prophecy tour to Israel, Greece, and the Greek islands in 2004 led by Irvin Baxter. The main document discusses evidence that current world events fulfill biblical end times prophecies, including the drying up of the Euphrates River, China's large military force, a worldwide numbering system, and the emergence of a new world order. It argues these prophecies defy coincidence and indicate we are living in the last days before Christ's return.
Paul undertakes his third missionary journey, during which he continues preaching and healing. When some magicians try to mimic Paul's abilities, they are beaten by demons. Paul faces increasing opposition and is eventually arrested and brought to Caesarea for trial. Though found innocent, he remains imprisoned for two years due to political maneuvering.

The document discusses criticisms of the historical accuracy and reliability of the Bible. It notes that many scholars and archaeologists agree that the Exodus story as described in the Bible did not actually happen or is not historically accurate. However, it also presents some archaeological evidence that has been used to argue that the biblical Exodus may have a historical basis, such as artifacts from Avaris in Egypt dated to the time period of the proposed Exodus that show Semitic influence. Overall, the reliability and historicity of the biblical accounts remains debated among scholars.
Christianity borrowed many doctrines from ancient Egyptian pagan religion, including beliefs about Horus and Jesus that are strikingly similar. Both were the only begotten sons of gods, born of a virgin, baptized at age 30, had 12 disciples, performed miracles like walking on water and raising the dead, were transfigured on a mountain, crucified with two thieves, buried in a tomb, and resurrected after three days. The document suggests Christianity copied and adapted Egyptian myths about Horus to construct the story of Jesus.
1. Jesus spoke the words "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" to a crowd in Galilee during a time of political, moral, and social unrest in the Roman Empire.
2. The people of Galilee were overtaxed by Roman occupiers, leaving them in poverty and despair. Their faith under rabbis only added to their burdens.
3. Jesus offered rest not by removing their burdens but by providing spiritual peace and harmony. Only through properly undertaking labor as service to others, rather than a task, could they find true rest.
The document contrasts two women described in Revelation: the woman clothed with the sun representing God's true church, and the harlot representing false religious organizations. It analyzes the symbolism around each woman, such as the colors in their clothing and the cities associated with them. The key point is that Babylon represents churches that lack obedience to God's law, and God calls his true followers to come out of false religious systems and join his remnant church.
Simon of Cyrene was passing by on his way into Jerusalem when he was compelled by Roman soldiers to carry Jesus' cross. Though little is known about Simon, he is believed to have been converted after this experience of helping Jesus carry his cross. His encounter with Jesus, which was by chance, likely changed the course of his life and led him to become a follower of Christ.
The document discusses Europe's role in end times prophecies from the Bible. It argues that symbols used by the European Union, such as the Tower of Babel and a woman riding a beast, represent Europe positioning itself in opposition to God. Several biblical passages are cited that describe the eventual destruction of a place called Babylon, and the document suggests that Europe fulfills this role. It also discusses artifacts from ancient pagan sites that have been moved to Germany, and argues this shows Europe embracing evil.
Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles
The document provides biographical information on Saints Simon and Jude:
- Simon and Jude were two of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
- Tradition holds that Simon preached in Egypt and northern Africa while Jude preached in Mesopotamia and Persia.
- They are both said to have been martyred around 65 AD in Persia, with Simon being sawn in half and Jude beaten to death.
- Their relics are kept at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
- Jude is the author of the Epistle of Jude and the patron saint of lost causes. Simon is the patron saint of woodcutters and tanners
The document provides an overview of key events in the iconography of Jesus Christ through a series of paintings and images depicting scenes from his Passion cycle. It begins with Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and continues through his crucifixion, resurrection, appearances to followers, and ascension into heaven. The document includes the title, artist, date, medium and location for each work depicted.

This document summarizes a blog post by curators at the Getty Museum about connecting medieval art to the final season of the TV show Game of Thrones. Each week, the curators will post about medieval art related to each new episode, drawing parallels between themes in the show and artifacts from the Middle Ages, such as illuminated manuscripts. The curators aim to showcase pieces from their collection that cannot be physically displayed for long due to light sensitivity. They hope exploring these connections will help readers better understand the rich and diverse reality of the medieval period beyond common stereotypes.

The Omega Conspiracy: Satan's Last Assault on God's Kingdom, by I.D.E. ThomasGuy Boulianne
This document provides a foreword and introduction to Dr. I.D.E. Thomas's book "The Omega Conspiracy". The foreword discusses the author meeting Dr. Thomas in 1992 and his groundbreaking work on linking UFO phenomena to biblical topics like the Nephilim. The introduction discusses how human beliefs and assumptions have changed throughout history as new discoveries were made, and how the skies have long been a source of mystery and fascination. It notes how both Christians and devotees of astrology look to the skies for meaning, and discusses Jesus' warnings of signs in the heavens preceding his return.
Did God Destroy Pompeii ? - Prophecy In The News Magazine - August 2010miscott57
This article discusses how some ancient sources viewed the destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD as divine judgment for Rome's destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple nine years prior. It notes that Pliny the Younger described his uncle's death during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The Sibylline Oracles, written around that time, also prophesied fire from Italy would destroy Jerusalem as revenge. Additionally, Antiochus IV Epiphanes was said to have died from a disease, acknowledging God's punishment for his mistreatment of Jews. The article argues modern events continue proving God's promise to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse them.

David Icke Cain Eve And The Serpent Dragon.TxtKukuasu
The document discusses theories about Cain, Eve, and the serpent from the Bible. It claims that Cain was born from Eve and the serpent/dragon, implanting evil into the world. It says Cain's lineage led to murder, lies, and eventually human sacrifice. The document explores ideas about the fallen angels and their influence on early civilizations, including bringing knowledge and giants to earth. It examines biblical references to Cain and speculates on connections to ancient cultures in Mexico and the Middle East.
Everyman is a late 15th century English morality play that uses allegory to confront the universal human fear of death. In the play, Death summons Everyman and tells him he must take a journey. Everyman seeks companions to accompany him, but is abandoned by Fellowship, Kindred, and other allegorical figures. Only Good Deeds agrees to join him. The play focuses on the Christian themes of repentance of sins and preparation for death and judgment. It uses familiar medieval concepts like the seven deadly sins and seven sacraments to convey its message about the importance of spiritual life and salvation.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

14. Quem Quaeritis?
Interrogation. Quem quaeritis in sepulchro, o Christicolae?
Responsio. Jesum Nazarenum crucifixum, o caelicolae.
Angeli. Non est hic; surrexit, sicut praedixerat. Ite, nuntiate
quia surrexit de sepulchro
(Question [by the Angels}. Whom do ye seek in the
sepulcher, O followers of Christ?
Answer [ by the Marys] Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified, just as he foretold.
The Angels. He is not here: he is risen, just as he foretold.
Go, announce that he is risen from the sepulcher)
18. Creation/Lucifer (Tanners)
The creation of the world and the fall of Lucifer. As punishment for his
pride, he loses his beauty and is cast down into hell.
Creation/5 Days (Plasterers)
The first five days of creation showing God's power over the universe.
Adam & Eve (Cardmakers)
The creation of Adam and Eve.
Eden (Fullers [makers of a felt-like cloth])
The Lord brings Adam and Eve into Paradise, and warns them not to eat
the fruit of the tree of Knowledge.
Fall of Man (Coopers)
The Serpent tempts Eve; she eats the fruit, and gives it to Adam.
Explusion (Armorers)
Punished for their sin, Adam and Eve are thrown out of Paradise by a
heavily armed angel.
Cain & Abel (Glovers)
Cain, enraged because the Lord shows preference to Abel, commits
fratricide. The York Register lacks a good portion of this text, which the
Toronto production reconstructed from another source.
19. Noah's Ark (Shipwrights)
The Lord commands Noah to build the ark. The man playing Noah was
likely a shipbuilder. This play rather wittily shows the Lord endorsing this
man's ship-building enterprise. Other humor revolves around Noah's
slapstick struggle to bring his wife aboard the ship -- she prefers to stay
behind gossiping with her friends.
Noah's Flood (Fishmongers and Mariners)
With the ark already constructed, Noah brings the animals on board and
weathers the storm.
Abraham & Isaac (Parchmentmakers)
Abraham shows his love for the Lord through his willingness to sacrifice his
beloved son, Isaac; the Lord shows His compassion by saving the boy from
death.
Exodus (Hosiers)
Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt, where the Pharoah had enslaved
them. The Pharoah here is a blustering, pompus and rather incompetent
dictator, the first in a series of loudmouthed rulers that includes Herod of
the Nativity story, a latter Herod of the Crucifixion story, and Pilate. The
hosiers would have been able to show off their wares to costume the royal
courtiers.
20. Annunciation/Visitation (Spicers)
The first play from the New Testament begins with a long speech by a a
learned man, who explains that the birth of the Son of God was foretold by
ancient prophecies. The angel Gabriel appears to Mary, announcing that
she will become pregnant and bear the Son of God. Mary tells her cousin
Eizabeth, who is also miraculously pregnant with John the Baptist.
Joseph's Trouble (Founders)
This play presents Joseph as an old man, who thinks his young fiancee has
been unfaithful to him; he suggests that it was no angel who slipped into
Mary's chamber, but rather a young lover disguised as an angel. Joseph
argues not with Mary, but with a character representing Mary's maid -- this
arrangement allows for slightly more ribald humor than a medieval
Christian audience would accept in a scene between Joseph and Mary.
Nativity (Tile-thatchers)
Joseph and Mary search for an inn in Bethlehem. The text of the play
indicates that the set depicted a stable with a thatched roof badly in need
of the services of the play's sponsors. The historical records of events such
as the York Corpus Christi play provide evidence that religious theatre was
a major public event, in which the people from all walks of life invested
huge amounts of time and money.
21. Angel/Shepherds (Chandlers [the word is related to "candle" and
"chandelier"])
An angel appears to three shepherds, and tells them that the Savior has
been born in a nearby manger. Unlike the comic and lower-class shepherds
of the widely-anthologized Wakefield Second Shepherds' Play, the
shepherds of this play are intelligent -- they understand the angels who
sing in Latin, and translate the song for the benefit of the audience. The
light of the Star of Bethlehem and the divine glow of the infant Jesus may
have been opportunities for the Chandlers to demonstarte their trade.
Magi & Herod (Goldsmiths; Masons; Minstrels [ownership changed over the
years])
King Herod attempts to use the Magi (that is, magicians or astrologers) as
spies to ascertain the whereabouts of the newborn King of the Jews, whom
he regards as a political threat.
Adoration (Goldsmiths)
This play dramatizes the events depicted on countless Christmas cards, as
well-wishers and onlookers recognize the baby Jesus as the Son of God,
and give him the appropriate honor and praise. One of the gifts of the magi
was, of course, gold.
22. Purification (Community of St. Leonard's Hospital; Masons)
Mary and Joseph present their child in the temple, in order to fulfil Jewish
ritual requirements. Simeon and Anna recognize the child as the fulfillment
of ancient prophecy.
Flight to Egypt (Marshals)
In order to protect their child from Herod, Mary and Joseph flee with the
baby to safety in Egypt.
Innocents (Girdlers)
This play represents the Slaughter of the Innocents: Herod, in his great
desire to kill the baby Jesus, slaughters all male Jewish children under two
years old.
Christ & Doctors (Spurriers and Lorimers [makers of spurs and harnesses])
This play depicts Christ as a youth, who impresses the learned men
(Doctors) with His wisdom and knowledge of scripture.
Baptism (Barbers)
Jesus begins his public ministry after being baptized by John.
Temptation (Smiths)
While Jesus is in the desert praying, Satan tries to trick Him into sins of
pride, just as he (in the form of the serpent) had successfully tricked Adam
and Eve. Jesus, however, manages to prevail.
23. Transfiguration (Curriers [leather worker])
While some of his followers look on, Jesus appears in a glorified state,
talking with Moses and Abraham. His presence with these ancient religous
leaders shows that He is the fulfillment of the promise that the Lord made
with His people.
Woman/Lazarus (Plumbers/Capmakers)
The two short stories in this play deal with a woman whom Jesus saves
from being stoned for adultery (he forgives her and tells her not to do it
again), and he raises his friend Lazarus from the dead.
Jerusalem Entry (Skinners)
Jesus is welcomed into the holy city Jerusalem, where the people celebrate
Him as the descendent of David.
Conspiracy (Cutlers)
The religious leaders conspire with Judas, one of Christ's closest followers,
to have Jesus killed. Like all homogenous societies, medieval England was
extremely suspicious of outsiders, including Jews, who were often
portrayed unfavorably. The conspirators are here identified as Jews. At the
same time, however, the leaders of the conspiracy, who confront Jesus in
the later plays, are presented as priests and bishops. Jesus is presented,
then, as a victim of a corrupt religious hierarchy -- not of the Jewish faith.
24. Last Supper (Bakers)
Because the Feast of Corpus Christi (that is, the Body of Christ) was the
occasion for the theatrical performance, this play -- in which Christ breaks
bread with his followers and tells them that the bread is his body -- would
naturally have been a high point. Given its emphasis on bread, it is also
natural that the bakers sponsored it.
Agony & Betrayal (Cordwainers [shoemakers])
Jesus, aware that His fate is to die a horrible, painful death, prays in the
Garden of Gethsemane. The betrayer, Judas, leads a mob in to arrest Him.
During the following several plays, Jesus says almost nothing; his quiet
composure contrasts with the blustering pomposity of the authority figures
who deride him.
Caiaphas/Peter (Bowers and Fletchers)
While Jesus is put on trial before the High Priest Caiaphas, Peter -- one of
Jesus's closest followers, who has pledged to remain with Christ until the
end -- weakens in his resolve. As Jesus had predicted, Peter denies
knowing Him.
Pilate 1/Wife (Tapiters [tapestrymakers])
The first trial of Jesus before Pilate, a Roman official. Pilate's wife had a
dream about Christ; she is desperate to save Him.
25. Trial by Herod (Dyers)
Herod is unable to find Jesus guilty of anything. This play includes
references to Christ wearing the color of fools; he is wearing a garment
that is white, and therefore undyed.
Pilate 2/Judas (Saucemakers)
After returning to Pilate, Jesus is put on trial again. Judas is paid for his
treachery. The Bible mentions that Judas' guts spilled out when he killed
himself; no doubt this was an occasion for impressive special effects.
Condemnation (Tilemakers)
Jesus is condemned to death by crucifixion.
Road to Calvary (Shearers)
As Jesus carries his cross to the place where he will be crucified, his
followers mourn, and others revile and attack him.
Crucifixion (Painters; also associated with the Pinners [Nailers])
The soldiers tie Christ to the cross and raise him up. The actor calls out to
all the people walking past him and instructs them to look at his wounds,
and think about how Jesus must have loved humanity, since he underwent
tremendous agony in order to save us from our sins. His speech is carefully
constructed so that it not only represents the historical Jesus speaking to
the crowds in Jerusalem, but it also addresses the crowds in York.
26. Death of Christ (Butchers)
Christ dies on the cross, and his body is laid in a tomb.
Harrowing of Hell (Saddlers)
During the time that Christ's body lies dead in the tomb, the Son of God
appears in Hell, where all souls had gone ever since the Fall of Man. Adam
and Eve are among the souls who are released and sent to Heaven.
Resurrection (Carpenters)
Christ miraculously rises from the dead.
Mary Magdalene (Winedrawers)
Christ encounters Mary Magdalene, a sinner who changed her ways when
she met Christ. As she struggles to come to terms with the apparent
failure of Christ's ministry, Christ himself appears to her.
Road to Emmaus (Wool-packers)
Two of Christ's followers meet a stranger on the road; they tell the
stranger all about the events of Christ's death. The stranger turns out to
be Christ himself.
Doubting Thomas (Scriveners)
Christ appears to a group of his followers. Thomas, who was absent from
the group, does not believe them. Christ later appears to Thomas, telling
him that the truly blessed are those who believe without seeing.
27. Ascension (Tailors)
Christ's resurrected body rises to Heaven.
Pentecost (Potters)
Christ's followers, once again struggling to come to terms with Christ's
departure, receive the gift of inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and begin
preaching and teaching with zeal.
Death of Mary (Drapers)
Many years later, Mary dies. Her closest friends are miraculously
transported to her bedside which is depicted with lavish tapestries and
drapery. Mary seems to die in the next two plays as well--evidence which
suggest that each play need not have been produced each year.
Assumption (Woollenweavers)
When Mary dies, her soul is taken up into Heaven.
Coronation (Mayor; Innholders)
When Mary's soul is taken up into Heaven, she reunites with her son Jesus,
and is crowned Queen of Heaven. The innholders benefitted considerably
from the tourism that the York play drew to the city, and likely produced a
lavish heavenly throne to receive the Mother of God.
28. Judgement (Mercers [Merchants])
The big finish, also called Doomsday. At the end of the world, the Son of
God returns in order to divide all souls into the good and the bad. The bad
souls -- the ones who did not feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and
comfort the oppressed -- are tormented by demons and taken into hell.
The good souls enter paradise with the angels, saints, and apostles. Music,
special effects such as fire and brimstone, and the antics of costumed
devils would likely have made this production a grand finale.
30. How did a cycle work?
This image from John Speed's map of Yorkshire, England
shows the walled city of York, the site of the brilliant annual
spectacle known to its medieval performers and spectators as
the “Corpus Christi Play.” Dozens of short plays, mounted on
pageant wagons, began with a performance at the Trinity
Priory and moved through the city streets, stopping at pre-
arranged performance locations known as stations.
The Corpus Christi Play was an annual outdoor event, involving
hundreds of actors; it was already a long-established tradition
by the end of the 14th century, and continued until suppressed
by the Protestant Reformation in the late 16th century.
31.
32. The York Mystery Plays are a
magnificent example of medieval
drama.
Using the colourful language of
medieval Yorkshire, they present the
'history of the world': from the mystery
of God's creation of the world to the
birth, death, and resurrection of Christ.
They were performed from the
fourteenth to the sixteenth century, as
part of the annual celebrations of the
feast of Corpus Christi, and have now
been revived - to much acclaim - in
twentieth-century York .
41. THE FALL OF MAN
Based on the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis.
Satan as a tempting serpent is not biblical, but rather part of the exegetical
tradition developed by the Church Fathers.
This makes the Fall of Man a direct result of the Fall of the Angels.
Adam and Eve are disobedient and guilty of the sin of pride just as Lucifer
was.
The tree from which Eve plucks the fruit prefigures the cross.
"Eve's role as sinful woman point forward to Mary's role as the mother of
God".
The argument between Adam and Eve, the first marital discord,
foreshadows "the discord which is thematically associated with evil
throughout the cycle".
Depicts Satan as full of envy and wrath (as well as pride)--two more of the 7
deadly sins (pride, envy, wrath, greed, lechery, sloth, gluttony).
42. The Fall of Man (Toronto 1998)
God casts Adam and Eve out of the Garden
43. The Fall of Man (Toronto 1998)
Lucifer tempts Eve
58. The Oberammergau
Passion Play depicts the
last five days in the life of
Jesus Christ, portraying the
scenes from His entry into
Jerusalem until the
Resurrection.
At Pentecost, 1634, the
citizens of Oberammergau
first kept their promise to
portray the Passion
Tragedy every ten years.
They first put up their
stage above the fresh
graves of the plague
victims in the local
cemetery.
