Scholarly Article

The reason that I'm using this Scholarly Article is because it talks a lot about how the plays during advent, the weeks leading up to Christmas, were very religious, which also happens to be the main theme for York Plays. And I believe that they somehow have a wild connection in the sense that the York Plays may have flourished during advent. And though the York plays were most likely NOT performed in the small northern French town Laon. The town could of used the York Plays as inspiration, because Laon's advent is significantly altered versions of other towns works. they revamped the advent calendar to make a more proficient schedule and their plays were something to behold.
