About Melchior

Coming from the East, Melchior was one of the Three Kings or Wise Men who traveled a long distance to gift the newborn Jesus in his birthplace stable in Bethlehem. Bearing precious gifts alongside his fellow kings, Balthazar and Gaspar, Melchior gifted the Christ child with frankincense, an expensive spice sometimes used as incense. Melchior's gift was a symbol of priestlyness, which went along with Jesus' eartly ministry and was also symbolic of prayer.

Dressing up as Melchoir

One of the ancient Magi of the Orient, you can dress as Melchior with a grand costume suitable for Christmas plays or Nativity scenes. Styled like that of an Arabian sheik, the Melchoir costume comes with robes of a rich, saffron yellow in a satiny fabric with a matching long Arabian headdress. Also included is an overlay with a faux embroidered look. These costumes come in childrens' sizes as well as adult.

Carry a small container filled with brown powder to look like Melchior's gift of frankincense to give your costume even more of an authentic feel!
