Resurrexio Domini Nostri Ihesu Christi
Quick Summary
The Resurrexio Domini Nostri Ihesu Christi is a Cornish drama, part of the Ordinalia trilogy written in Middle Cornish, likely in the late 14th or early 15th century. This trilogy, designed to be performed over three days, includes the Origo Mundi (Origin of the World) and the Passio Domini Nostri Ihesu Christi (Passion of Our Lord). The Resurrexio focuses on the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ. Unlike some other medieval plays, the Ordinalia does not include the Nativity or details of Jesus's ministry, but it does feature distinct Cornish traditions and Continental influences. The Protestant Reformation led to a decline in the creation and performance of such plays in the Cornish language.12
