St Jerome Costume

Jacob decided to be St. Jerome.

I think the fact that he’s learning Latin this year helped in that choice since St Jerome translated the Bible into Latin.

Jacob’s costume was a brown robe which I bought years ago from Oriental Trading. Over the top of the robe, we added a piece of sackcloth with a hole cut into the middle for his head. A little bit of face paint for a beard, a stuffed lion, and I tied a rolled-up brown paper with a feather to his sackcloth shirt.
