My former fundy church had harvest festivals with games and candy, etc. Costumes were NOT encouraged (oh, the evil of a person in a Capt America or Red Riding Hood costume! Rolleyes

). If anyone was determined to wear one they were supposed to be Bible Characters....cause Bible characters are always sweet, innocent, and modestly dressed. Rolleyes

In retrospect, I would love to test the limits of their love for all Bible characters:

Maniac of Gadara (mostly nekkid, later clothed)
Jael (complete with bloody tent spike)
Rahab the harlot
Satan, as the serpent

Was it Ezekial that had to spend 3 yrs naked? Or was it Isaiah? Go as John the Baptist, after his beheading.

Adam and Eve in fig leaves would be "Biblically accurate," wouldn't it?

How can they find fault with someone who is upholding a literal 6 day creation?

I direly wanted to go as the wheels with eyes from Ezekiel when I was a volunteer for a harvest party. I settled for being a demon locust from Revelation, complete with plastic wrap/clothes hanger wings, tinfoil-covered chestplate, toilet paper tube (over another clothes hanger) scorpion tail and Burger King crown. It was a lot of fun to make. Big Grin

That is all kinds of cool!

That's just completely amazing. I never took that much time with a Bible costume. Smile

I love it.

I did see a kid dress as Achan one year - he attached a bunch of fake "rocks" to his body . . .

OOH! The fat guy from Judges who gets stabbed but his fat swallows up the sword! (Seriously, what the heck? People, read Judges. It is all sorts of wtf.) Or, better yet, a literal interpretation of the woman from Song of Songs! Y'know how the guy likens her boobs to like, dears or something? Bambi bra, away!
