Joseph Costume Ideas

About Joseph

The earthly father of Jesus, Joseph was a young carpenter who was to be married to Mary. When she relayed the same message that the archangel Gabriel told her, Joseph had his doubts about marrying her, believing that there may have been some other shennanigans and that it wasn't the Christ child she was carrying. Joseph received a dream from the angel telling him not to be afraid and all was as Mary said it was. Joseph married Mary and was later recognized by the Catholic church as the patron saint of carpenters, those who doubt, and the patron saint of a happy death.

Dressing up as Joseph

An integral part to any staging of a Nativity scene or play telling the story of Christmas, Joseph costumes are available in adult and childrens' sizes. Although these costumes come in a variety of shades, the long robe with flowing sleeves and a headdress often feature a contrasting color inset.

Accessorize your costume of Jesus' mild-mannered carpenter father with a {shepherd's crook} and a pair of sandals.
