Homemade Medieval, Bible Character Costumes and Props

Putting on a religious themed play? Dressing as a Bible character for Halloween? Maybe Mardi Gras or a costume party? These work for medieval costumes, too. Here are props and symbols for major Biblical figures. I've included men and women. Bible costumes may look similar, so using props will help identify who you are. This Bible character symbols list will make a great party game like 'Who Am I?', Bible scavenger hunt or Bible 'Sword Drill'. This list of Bible characters is taken from the older, more comprehensive Catholic Douay-Rhiems Bible. These characters are in somewhat Biblical chronological order.  Props for Bible Character Costumes: Halloween, Vacation Bible School, All Saints Day
