Mary in the Christmas story
In the Christmas story, Mary is the mother of the child in the manger and is traditionally depicted in a blue robe with a cloth over her hair. This colour combination makes her instantly recognisable in a nativity scene alongside Joseph, the shepherds, and the three wise men. This role is performed every year in schools, churches, and by community groups, so it is helpful if the costume is easily recognisable from a distance. A long, loose dress is ideal for this, as it is easy to move and sit in.
Complete the Mary costume for a full nativity scene
To create a complete nativity scene, pair this costume with a Joseph outfit in brown or beige and shepherd costumes with simple headscarves. A doll wrapped in cloths completes the scene, as one is not included with the costume. Wear flat sandals or dark shoes and avoid jewellery to preserve the dress's simple look. If you are performing indoors in a cold space, wear a thin white layer under the dress.
If you are choosing the Mary costume for a Christmas play, order before 11:59 p.m. and it will be delivered tomorrow.
