Joseph Costumes

Joseph was a carpenter who was quite poor. He is Jesus’ father on earth. The nativity story tells a tale of Joseph and Mary traveling to Bethlehem for the Roman census. They needed somewhere to stay, but there was no room in the Inn. They stayed in an animal’s stable, it is here that the baby Jesus was born.




Shepherd costumes are popular in the nativity for Joseph, the shepherd's and the inn keepers. Shepherd costumes are available in both children and men sizes. Optional accessories such as a shepherd's staff/crook or beard are available in our on-line store and are the perfect finishing touches to your shepherd costume.
