The lowly shepherds were among the first to visit Jesus at his birth. The angel's announcement of the birth of Jesus to the shepherds demonstrates God's reaching out to the poor and despised ones in society and gifting them with a Savior. Luke is the only Gospel to recount the visit of the shepherds. The shepherds were guarding their flocks at night. They took good care of the sheep, protecting them from danger, and quite often carried the lambs in their arms to keep them from harms way.
These biblical christmas costumes, which include a long multicolor headpiece, matching robe with attached belt cord and gold braided trim, are great ideas for Christmas play costumes or any Nativity scene!
