Mystery Plays
As a part of a ritual or a Sunday morning service, we have used mystery plays. For us, a mystery play is a theatrical performance which tells a story about the Gods or nature, perhaps explaing how and why things work from a mythological perspective. We have fun doing these. The amount of rehearsing, costume - production - of each play really depends on the participants and time constraints.

Since there aren't very many scripts around, we have had to create our own. The exception to this is the play that we did during the Yule service in 2003. We used a script from John Matthew's book, The Winter Solstice.

The Marriage of the Sun and Moon by Krystal
(Adaptation from a story in Sun Stories by Carolyn Edwards)
This play was used as the opening of our Mayday Service.

Creation Play by Krystal
This play was used at a winter solstice service to explain the birth of the sun. However, it also talks about creation in general, so this could be used at many times of the year.
