For a Halloween Party
I was St. Francis. As a lapsed Catholic, I decided to be the Saint of my middle name. I got a real, monastic alb, and I hand-made a walking staff. I put a hand-made crucifix on the top, bound with leather straps. I got some fake birdies and perched them on the latter. I put the stigmata on my feet and hands. To top it off, I got a small cassette player and stuffed it under my cycling shorts under the alb; it played a tape of Gregorian Chant music.
It was great. I even surprised myself. Amen.
