Any ideas for a Saint costume that involves a sword? (Hambet has flatly rejected St Michael.) I’ve thought of St Louis; any other ideas?

St. Martin of Tours–he also gets to wear a coolio cape that he slashed in two to give a beggar 1/2.
St. Edward the Conquerer?
Joan of Arc?
Sorry — after Dawn`s post about the crossdressing man, I couldn`t resist! 🙂
St. George – and he can have loads of fun if another kid dresses as a dragon!
St. Peter…had the sword in the garden and cut off the ear of those arresting Christ.
Or, you could always get him a pistol and dress him as St Gabriel Ponsetti…
Probably any king-saint like St. Louis–then you get a sword and a crown 🙂

Ooooo, Saint George the dragon slayer!!! I like that one.
Saint Hubert had a dagger and a bow and arrow — close enough?
Thanks for all the great suggestions (and Sparki, I remember that awesome St Hubert costume!)
We decided to go with St George! I dug in my fabric box and found some white muslin for the tabard. I used grosgrain ribbon for the red cross. Existing sword and shield props from Ikea et voila! Off to the party!
1. Santiago Matamoros
2. (not yet canonized) San Francisco Franco y Bahamonde
