Costumes for the Three Wise Men

"We three kings of Orient are bearing gifts that travel afar ..."

Melchior. Balthazar Gaspar . The three wise men who came from the East. Not specifically named in the Bible, their names come from religious texts from the sixth century. The three magi have been immortalized in paintings and songs and are celebrated on Epiphany, the 6th of January, often with a costumed parade.

For the wise men in your nativity play, SantaSuitsInc.com has children's and adult magi Christmas costumes in both basic and deluxe versions. Your wise men will look as good as the gifts they bring the baby Jesus!

Angel Costumes and Angel Wings

"Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains ..."

A full angel chorus is a powerful reminder of the special time of the year. But whether you have one angel or several, they can sparkle and shine in one of these angel costumes.

We have angel costumes for adults, children and toddlers, And for those angels whose wings are a little droopy, we have an assortment of angel wings, including feather angel wings that can perk up last year's nativity costume.

Scripts and Other Ideas for Nativity Plays and Christmas Pageants

Need a little help getting started with your nativity play or Christmas pageant? There are some great ideas that Sunday Schools and other church groups have posted. Included are texts and stage directions as well as some alternative ideas to the traditional pageant.
Nativity Play - All Saints Milton Parish
This is a take on the Christmas story that is good for young teens who want something more in "their" language. Has witty angels, sarcastic shepherds and a bored donkey.
Nativity Play from Catholic Ireland
This is a script for a nativity play complete with a cast list and song recommendations for each act.
Christmas Story Scenes
Dovecot Sunday School shares their fun idea of doing a presentation of Nativity story scenes: instead of putting on a play, their students pose for key scenes from the Nativity story. These still shots are then presented in a slide show while someone narrates the story. Good for smaller Sunday schools and churches, or with especially young children.
Christmas Singing Skit
Cute, short Christmas skit by Marcia Taylor that incorporates different characters singing signature lines at key points in the dialogue.
Christmas Play Scripts from Dramatix
Around 30 Christmas related play scripts available.

Costumes for Herod, Roman Soldiers and Citizens of Judea

"Herod the King in his raging, charged he hath this day, his men of might, in his own sight, all children young to slay ..."

Herod and his Roman soldiers are definitely the bad guy in the nativity play, but they are an essential part of the story. We have costumes for adults and children who are playing the role of the Romans.

We also have costumes that would suit other citizens of Bethlehem, including the pivotal role of the innkeeper.
