Halloween Costume and the Bible
While I get email from readers to clarify points like “How can you date the month, day, and year of the parting of the Red Sea?” or “Where does it gives the age of Moses at the time he was called by God?”, an unusual email request arrived today involving a Halloween costume and the Bible.
A reader wrote:
My daughter’s school is doing a Halloween special tomorrow. They are allowing each child to dress up like a character from a book. At first I was not going to send her to school, because I really don’t care what they call it, I know that is is just a reason to allow all the children to celebrate Halloween in the traditional way.
I do not celebrate Halloween. However I believe this is one of the very few times she will be allowed to speak about anything pertaining to the Bible in school. So, I have decided to let her dress as someone out of the Bible and have explained to her in detail about the entire situation. I have come to a snag. She wishes to dress as Zipporah, Moses’ wife and I have no idea what to dress her in. If you can help me in any way please let me know. Thanks so much for at least taking the time to read this.
My email reply offered this advice:
Thank you for writing. While your request is unusual, and on short notice, clothing at that time period was often robes and though you find the word “shoes” in the Bible it really means sandals. From your email address I suspect you are in Florida, and the weather report is mild so being there would be different than northern states.
In the wilderness during the time of Moses clothing included fringes and a blue ribbon by direction from God given in Numbers 15:38 (see below), so an inexpensive princess or other robe-like costume in white could have blue ribbon glued to the bottom hem and perhaps at the end of each sleeve, and then sandals.
Numbers 15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue. (KJV)
The word “borders” in Hebrew means edge or extremity. Good luck with the last minute costume.
The comment “I do not celebrate Halloween” is an understandable concern for Christians. Peer pressure for children to feel connected to the mainstream often poses a dilemma for Christian parents. My personal belief is that parents who teach the difference between pagan holidays like Halloween, Christmas, and Easter and explain their real meaning do little harm allowing children to participate with costumes, gift giving, or candy eggs.
Commercialization of so-called “holidays” takes away the spirit of celebrating being a Christian and the birth, life, death, and salvation knowing Jesus Christ.
