Mystery Play of Elche's Wikipedia article is a community-edited encyclopedia entry, covering composition dated by modern scholarship to the latter fifteenth century, the annual mid-August performance at the Basilica de Santa Maria, the two-act structure, the araceli and magrana mechanical devices, and the 2001 and 2008 UNESCO recognition. Its strength is that these are the kind of stable, documentable facts a general reference handles well. Its limit is that a claim about the play's specific liturgical or theological meaning needs a specialist scholarly source, not this overview.
