This photograph depicts three
Belizean
children from
San Pedro Town
dressed as Christian
saints
,
martyrs
and
Biblical figures
for the observance of
Allhallowtide
. It is common for
Christian schools
to host parties on the first two days of this triduum,
All Hallows' Eve
(Halloween) and
All Hallows' Day
(All Saints' Day), in which costumes of this kind are worn. In some Christian denominations, children also dress up as the
Reformers
for
Reformation Day
events, which are often celebrated alongside those of All Hallows' Eve.
