Ludus de Antichristo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ludus de Antichristo is a liturgical drama from the 1100s whose original author is unknown. Its origins are almost certainly from southern Germany, possibly from someone writing in the town of Regensburg. The drama warned its audience of the dangers posed by the Antichrist, a prophesied figure of evil whose coming (according to the Old and New Testaments) was an indication that the end of the world, or apocalypse, was near.
