Celebrating the Saints: Our 2025 Saint Costumes
Other than our youngest two, our saints costumes all came together at the very last minute this year! I loved their creativity. One of our college kids flew in for the weekend and his older brother (jokingly) asked in our family chat if he dressed up as himself this year….. Nope, he did not! Yay for newly canonized saints this year!!
This year’s saint costumes: St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St, Carlo Acutis, St. Scholastica, St. Benedict, St. Anastasia and Our Lady Star of the Sea (Stella Maris).
St. Elizabeth of Hungary
St. Elizabeth of Hungary 👑✨
She pulled her costume together about 20 minutes before I took the pictures and came downstairs as her confirmation saint! I was impressed. Cape from my St. Elizabeth of Hungary costume back in 1991, round tablecloth for veil, white blouse, her sister’s green dress, basket with rolls & roses, and this crown from a previous St. Barbara costume.
O St. Elizabeth, with heart so pure and kind, in your noble service, true compassion we find. Guide us in our efforts to love and to share, in the spirit of Christ, may we show that we care. Patroness of the poor, inspire us each day, to seek out the lonely and help them on their way. With your intercession, may our hearts be set free, to live out the Gospel in true charity. Amen.
St. Carlo Acutis
St. Carlo Acutis 💻✨
He had just arrived home from University of Mary for the weekend, found a red hoodie from his closet, pulled his laptop out of his backpack, and then just put his backpack on! Not perfect but it worked!!
Oh God, our Father, thank you for giving us Carlo,a model of life for young people and a message of love for all.
St. Scholastica
St. Scholastica 🕊️📖✨
She also choose to dress up as her confirmation saint this year and younger brother agreed to be, St. Benedict, her twin! His pics coming up next… She used a veil/whimple from our costume collection, some black fabric for her cape, this and this black dress (from one of the servant costumes from this Murder Mystery). She added an old book from one of our shelves and this dove!
O God, to show us where innocence leads, you made the soul of your virgin Saint Scholastica soar to heaven like a dove in flight. Grant through her merits and her prayers that we may so live in innocence as to attain to joys everlasting.
St. Benedict
St. Benedict of Nursia 🐦⬛✨
I am realizing I don’t have a lot of costume options for the older kids! However, they are so creative and find things that work! He ended up using a cassock combined with a black hoodie. Then just adding a belt, rosary, cross, the crozier his dad helped him make a few years ago for his St. Augustine costume, and an old gray beard from his older brother’s St. Paul costume back in 2012.
Admirable Saint and Doctor of Humility, you practiced what you taught, assiduously praying for God’s glory and lovingly fulfilling all work for God and the benefit of all human beings. You know the many physical dangers that surround us today often caused or occasioned by human inventions. Guard us against poisoning of the body as well as of mind and soul, and thus be truly a “Blessed” one for us. Amen.
St. Anastasia of Sirmium
St. Anastasia of Sirmium🏺✨
A martyr who lived in the late second century and early third century. She died during the Christian persecution under Diocletian. She is one of the few women saints mentioned in the Canon of the Mass! Her feast day is December 25th, Christmas Day. She used a red gown (from St. Margaret of Scotland 2009), a green cape and veil (from St. Brigid costume), with a palm branch and an oil bottle.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Anastasia as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You she showed from her time as a young child learning the Faith in secret, until her martyrdom.
Our Lady Star of the Sea (Stella Maris)
Our Lady Star of the Sea 🌊⭐️✨
Her costume was simply one of our St. Lucia Day nightgowns with a crown of stars (previously used for Our Lady Queen of the Angels in 2022), and this beautiful cape from Trish Scully. I ordered the cape as one of her Christmas gifts last year with this costume in mind. It’s actually a size 10/12/14, but I wanted it to be long on our tiny 6 year old! I meant to get a picture with her hood on, but I forgot… Oh well! She also went inside at one point to get her Baby Jesus doll (also in this Holy Family set) to hold.
O Stella Maris, light of every ocean and mistress of the deep, guide your children on earth across all dark and stormy seas, that they may reach the haven of peace and light prepared in him who calmed the sea.

All Saints in Heaven, pray for us!
