There are many characters in the Bible and many churches hold pageants or plays each year. Sadly, you won’t find too many stores catering to the Biblical play maker market. This has led to many creating their own costumes. Creating your own costume is better than not having a costume at all, but it would be better if you were to wear one made by a professional. In this article I’ll go over the different biblical costumes that one might want to wear. I’ll even go over some of the ones you might be able to find and where you might find them. After you’ve read this article you will have a better understanding of the costumes and hopefully you will have an easier time getting them.
The first thing one must recognize is that you’ll never be able to get costumes for everyone ever mentioned in the Bible. Devils, Angels, roman soldier armor, and sheep herder costumes are the most popular on the market. These costumes can easily be found in costume shops in October. These can be purchased as soon as October hits or you can wait and go some place special to buy them later on. For those of you that do not want to purchase ahead of time, don’t worry because I’ll tell exactly where you can go to get them anytime of the year.
The main characters you’ll probably be focusing on for plays will be wise men, angels, and peasant garb. Reenactment weapons and other soldier gear will probably be needed as well. Some well made foot wear will bottom out your costume with dead on accuracy. Look for costumes you can use more than once. This will ensure that you have spent your costume searching time wisely.
One place to go to get a nice costume is http://www.historicalclothingrealm.com . This site has a wide selection of medieval costumes you can put to use. Medieval foot wear as well as medieval reenactment weapons are available there. A nice show or biblical play is much better when you have these items to use in it.
If your looking for biblical costumes you know it is going to be a tough challenge. Why not make the best of it and get as much as you can from a store? Once you do that you’ll gain valuable time to use for costume making. You’ll find that the additional time spent on the few costumes you must make will allow you to make them great.
