A must-have for an Easter program is Roman Soldier costumes. Roman Solder costumes can be quite expensive, depending on the budget, but this page offers many choices. But, a Roman Solder, helmet and pretend shield and sword is a must to complete the look!

The church Easter program will include Roman Soldiers, and whether played by adults or children, require some authentic costumes and soldier accessories.

Most  Sunday school children will play a character in your biblical Easter program, and boys in particular, will want to play a Roman Soldier.
