The expression 'liturgical drama' was formulated in 1834 as a metaphor and hardened into formal category later in the 19th century.

Prior to this invention, the medieval rites and representations that would forge the category were understood as distinct and unrelated classes: as liturgical rites no longer celebrated or as theatrical works of dubious quality.
