The costume: We used two graduation gowns, a bishop's hat, a white blouse sewed closed at the top, and a little fake blood. I attempted to sew wood paint sticks in the shoulder to give it a shoulder look. We sewed the graduation gowns closed down at the bottom, so it would stay closed.
The story:
Saint Denis (also called Dionysius, Dennis, or Denys) is a Christian martyr and saint. In the third century, he was Bishop of Paris. He was martyred in connection with the Decian persecution of Christians, shortly after A.D. 250. After his head was chopped off, Denis is said to have picked it up and walked ten kilometres (six miles), preaching a sermon the entire way, making him one of many cephalophores in hagiology. He is venerated in the Roman Catholic Church as patron of Paris, France and as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers
