When putting on a Christmas pageant nativity play one of the most important things to do is to arrange costumes for the players. You will need costumes for the leading roles, especially Mary, Joseph and the Three Wise Men. Other players also need costumes, such as shepherds, angels and perhaps (if you include them) King Herod and his soldiers.
You can buy children's Nativity costumes and similar ready-made biblical costumes for adults. This saves time and trouble but incurs an expense. Simple biblical costumes are not difficult to make, but it does help to start with a sewing pattern.
Here are some sources of suitable low-cost biblical costume patterns. With these patterns anybody with sewing skills could soon prepare the costumes needed to put on a nativity play.
