Balthasar Wise Man Costume

A Bethlehem Baby ShowerHave you ever been to a baby shower? Do you remember what people brought? Yeah, you probably do. In fact, you might have even played one of those baby bingo games where you guess what you think the expectant mother is about to unwrap and cross the items off as she unwraps them. The standard usually includes diapers, pacifiers, and onesies. Do you know what’s usually not included on the list? Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. Well, to be fair, back in Jesus’s time gold was probably equivalent to mega-cash so that’s pretty useful. And Myrrh could be used for wounds which would be helpful during the holy family’s trip back to their home village. But it’s totally weird to give a baby perfume, we all have to agree on that. Product DetailsThis is a lush and colorful blue robe with gold trimmed sleeves and a gold v-neck. The shoulders are dramatic and structured with gold trim falling along the red panel down the front. You’ll make a grand entrance into any manger when you show up with this red cape. The whole ensemble is topped off with a turquiose headdress that drapes heavily around the neck and gold braid wrapped around your upper head. We Three KingsSo maybe you’re ready to head out with two friends to celebrate Epiphany in a parade or Nativity scene. Or perhaps you’re heading out for Halloween for a different kind of costume. Or, maybe you’re even heading to a baby shower! That’s a weird thing to do as long as you remember that Myrrh is no longer considered a regular and acceptable baby shower gift. Consider diapers or a baby blanket. Or hey, if you want to stick with your original theme, no one is going to be mad if you give them gold, either!
