[ Of course, this is all Greek to me! ]

The greeks developed religious play acting to an art.. d;-)..
Because that is what pagan religion is.. a play..
A delicious or tragic acting out of a myth..

All done with expensive artifacts and impressive masks..
Which some christian and jewish troups steal from..
Not to speak of psuedo-christian(cultic) artisans..

Some artisans become Superstars and everything..

Also, there are several instances in the Old Testament where God calls upon the prophets to "act out" a spiritual truth or prophecy as a means of communicating.

And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver.

And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. - Zech 11:12-13

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. - Matthew 27:3-7

To God be the glory!
