Biblical Nativity Costumes Are Perfect For Christmas Plays and Manger Scenes
A Biblical Nativity costume
is just what you need for your
Christmas play,
church pageant
or manger scene!
Why would you buy a nativity costume? You can make your own costumes, but many people do not sew, nor do they have the time to make a costume. And if you're also in charge of putting together the play - casting the Bible characters, writing scripts and designing backgrounds and props - you have even less time to make costumes. High quality Bible character costumes or nativity costumes are available and are affordable.
Imagine how a nativity play at your Christmas candlelight service will add to this joyous season. Mary and Joseph, the baby Jesus, the Wise Men, shepherds and even the animals in the stable make the nativity story come to life. Children traditionally play the parts of Mary and Joseph, but adults are also part of the play as wise men and shepherds. Recently, a Christmas Day church service I attended used adults as Mary & Joseph with a real baby as Jesus. A real camel and a donkey were brought down the church aisle. It was a very short moment during the service, maybe 10 minutes, but left a lasting impression on those watching.
If you don't want to gather real animals for your nativity pageant, use ride-on camels and donkeys. They're like large plush animals that are worn around the waist and make it appear that the wearer is riding the camel or donkey.
Nativity costumes are a key part of presenting the Christmas Story.

Birth of Jesus
Luke 2:4-16
So Joseph went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to David's town of Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to have himself registered together with Mary, who was betrothed to him and was with child.
But while they were there, her full time came, and she gave birth to her first-born son, and wrapped Him round, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were shepherds in the same part of the country, keeping watch over their sheep by night in the open fields, when suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round them; and they were filled with terror. But the angel said to them, "Put away all fear; for I am bringing you good news of great joy -- joy for all the People. For a Saviour who is the Anointed Lord is born to you to-day, in the town of David. And this is the token for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger."
And immediately there was with the angel a multitude of the army of Heaven praising God and saying, "Glory be to God in the highest Heavens, And on earth peace among men who please Him!"
Then, as soon as the angels had left them and returned to Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go over as far as Bethlehem and see this that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." So they made haste and came and found Mary and Joseph, with the babe lying in the manger.
